# GDScript: 3D nodes

Source: https://tweens.gd/gdscript/nodes/3d/

Helpers for `Node3D`, `GeometryInstance3D`, and the 3D node classes.

Each row pairs a helper with the property path it tweens. Names ending in `_x`, `_y`, `_z`, or `_alpha` write one component.

## Units and constraints

-   `global_quaternion_3d` interpolates along the shortest quaternion path, then writes the global rotation.
-   `geometry_instance_3d_transparency` is an amount of transparency (0 opaque, 1 transparent), not opacity.
-   Path helpers require a `PathFollow3D` under a `Path3D` with a nonempty curve. The node still controls looping and wrapping.
