Simple rotation - Polyloop

Blake · 11th January 2007, 10:12

Hi there, Until now I've never needed animation, What I'm looking for is a way of rotating my model 360 degrees and once the revolution is completed to repeat another and another etc etc a sort of perpetual rotation. Ive tried grouping the model and key framing the image and then rotating the model and key framing that.OK it turns but when I apply the 'loop' button you see the join between first video and the rerun.

Try the following:
(1) Set playback head to Start (Keyframing shouldn't be necessary)

(2) Select the object (or group) then go over to the Properties panel (on the right side of the screen) and click on the "Modifiers" tab

(3)Click on the "+", a drop down menu should then appear, click on "Behaviors" > "Spin"

(4) Set your rotation speed and choose the axis of rotation.

Hope this helps : )

It may also be that your first and last frame were the same. Only render to one frame before the object returns to it's original position.
