```plaintext
npx gltfjsx scene.gltf --transform

```

it creates a ready made component and a small animation set up using drei/useAnimations. it looks like this: [GLTF Animations - CodeSandbox](https://codesandbox.io/s/pecl6) useAnimation is a small helper around three.mixer, removing all the boilerplate and creating clips automatically.

see [GitHub - pmndrs/gltfjsx: 🎮 Turns GLTFs into JSX components](https://github.com/pmndrs/gltfjsx#%EF%B8%8F-easier-access-to-animations)

ps. if gltfjsx doesn’t create actions for you, then the gltf has none, which might be the reason why your code above didn’t work.
