When you want to start adding animation and interactions to your scene, it's time to understand States, Events, and Actions.
State-Based animation works by adding, well, you guessed it, multiple states to your objects.
How to create an object state
- Select an object.
- Go to the States panel on the right sidebar and click the
+
icon. - You'll see two new states. The
Base State
(the state your object was already in) and another one calledState
. - The
State
will be automatically selected, meaning you're ready to start applying changes to your object, like changing the scale, position, rotation, color, etc. - Once you made changes to
State
, you can switch betweenBase State
andState
on the States panel to see the differences.
