Subnode Animation Node
A typical 3D model is comprised of many parts (subnodes). Not all of these parts need to be animated; most are just used for display. However, if you would like to animate a specific part, you need to add a Subnode Animation node under your 3D model.
Refer to the following example to connect this node.
Properties
All animatable 3D model subnodes appear in a list in the Subnode Animation Layer Properties. Expand any of the subnodes in the list to view its individual properties.
Click on any of the Function buttons 
to open the Function Editor for that parameter.
If movements have already been created in the Camera view, you may not be able to edit some of the fields. They just display the value of that parameter at the given position in the Timeline. If you would like to edit these fields, change the field type to Local.

| Position |
3D Path: Lets you use a 3D path function to animate an element. Separate: Lets you independently edit the different coordinate fields. Path: When the 3D Path option is selected, lets you choose the path type. You can do this form the field menu, located after the Function button Path (x) Axis: Lets you type in a new East/West coordinate corresponding to the desired position. Path (y) Axis: Lets you type in a new North/South coordinate corresponding to the desired position. Path (z) Axis: Lets you ype in a new Forward/Backward coordinate corresponding to the desired position. Velocity: When the 3D Path option is selected, lets you set the speed at which movement occurs across the X, Y and Z axes. |
| Rotation |
Quaternion: Rotations made on the X, Y and Z axes are linked, as is the velocity which acts on the three rotation functions simultaneously. Euler Angles: Rotations can be made on the X, Y and Z axes independent of each other; each has its own velocity. 3D Rotation: When the Quaternion option is selected, lets you choose the path type. You can do this form the field menu, located after the Function button (x) Axis: Lets you enter the horizontal rotation value in degrees. (y) Axis: Lets you enter the vertical rotation value in degrees. (z) Axis: Lets you enter the depth scale value in degrees. Velocity: When the Quaternion option is selected, lets you set the speed at which rotation occurs across the X, Y and Z axes. |
| Scale |
Locked: Resizes the element while keeping its ratio. The X and Y axes scale proportionally Separate: Resizes the element allowing to modify the ratio (squash and stretch). (x) Axis: Lets you enter the horizontal scale value. (y) Axis: Lets you enter the vertical scale value. (z) Axis: Lets you enter the depth scale value. Scale in Fields: Instead of using the standard scaling units, when this option is enabled, images are scaled using field units, based on the traditional animation field chart. Enter in the x, y, z values respectively in the fields below. |
