Devin Johnston Posted May 22, 2009 Share Posted May 22, 2009 I'm trying to animate an object rotating, it's a simple enough procedure and I've done it hundreds of times. I'll select the object turn on auto key and move the time slider to where I need it, then rotate the object around the Z axis. My time line is 900 frames and I've rotated the object a total of 3600 degrees over that time, when I play it back the object only completes about 1/3 of a single rotation, no where near the 10 complete rotations I told it to make. When I go into the curve editor to see what's going on there is no information on that object even though it's clearly moving no curve data is being generated. The object was exported out of ArchiCAD in the same manor that we export all of our models and I've never had this problem before. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Claudio Branch Posted May 22, 2009 Share Posted May 22, 2009 Have you tried just linking it to a Dummy object and let the Dummy do the rotation? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Devin Johnston Posted May 22, 2009 Author Share Posted May 22, 2009 That worked but I still don't know what I couldn't just animate them individually. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Macer Posted May 22, 2009 Share Posted May 22, 2009 I've had the same thing happen too! No apparent reason, and a dummy fixed it. Still frustrating though! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
