Any of my Godot comrades here know if there's a way to get the "Animation Key and Pose Options" into the 3D scene and not just the 2D? I mainly just want that auto keying feature for my 3D scene.

It might not be much in the scheme of things, but for a game that I released for free and have done absolutely zero marketing for and has spread simply from word of mouth, I'm pretty flattered to see the 1000th download. (This doesn't account for sharing between people or other sites like BGG.)
