How to animate a property from current value to a given value?

Question

Hi all, Is it possible to create a Mecanim animation that animates a property from its current value to a given value? Example: I want to create an animation that rotates my camera from its current rotation (it could be any rotation) to rotation (0,0,0). Is it possible? Thank you in advance! :)

I don't think it is good reason to use Mecanim for that propose. Mechanim is just an animation switcher. If you have variables, I mean if you don't really know whats going to happen, like you don't know with what rotations you will work with, it's better to code that parts. Using plugins like iTween can be a great solution.

You could combine code and the animation by animating a public script variable "progress" between one and zero as property. Then interpolate between rotation current (which u save first) and destination rotation by "progress" in the void update( ) function.
