Maybe someone can tell me where I am going wrong?
Step 1:
We start by creating a fresh Blender
default cube, I erased the camera and the light,
no texture on the cube no material nothing.
Swith to animation tab, non-linear animation …
Step 2:
Animate the cube, by inserting keyframes
Step 3:
Export the model as a .gltf
GLTF Panda3D docs
Step 4:
We can validate the .gltf, make sure it is good,
it is as simple as ‘drag & drop’
(Khronos is the organisation responsible for maintaining the standard)
Khronos gltf-validator
Step 5:
We can even take it a step further and see the model
in a .gltf ‘previewer’ online
gltf-viewer
another gltf viewer
Step 6:
Everything seems to be going well
our hopes and dreams are flying high…
Life is good, the sun is shinning

The simplest script I can think of!
Errors crashes Doom, sadness, desparation.
I just want to make a freakin’ cube spin.
I’ve been at this for months!
There is a small hole inside of me, where my soul used to be 
This is for a ‘Actor’ but what if I want to animate a draw bridge in the scene for example
is that still a actor?
Let me know if you guys spot my error. Thanx <3
