      I made a 3d-version of a logo, and now I want it to rotate, but the object doesn't rotate like I want it to...
      this is the original logo(without the text):

        Hi Burt,

        That logo looks like the little logo that comes up when I take a
        photo on my Nokia phone.

        I notice that you don't have the ribbons going all the way around
        in the model?

        If I were going about making a rotating logo, as a movie that is,
        I'd take a movie screen shot while the object is spinning. There
        is a function in SketchUp that does the rotation ..... but where
        is it located? Its been so long since I used it. Maybe someone
        elaborate on this suggestion?

        Mike

          If you see a toilet in your dreams do not use it.

            That's not quite like I wanted it to be. It has to replace the internet explorer logo in internet explorer 4-6. It has to rotate just like that. Thanks for the help anyway.

              I am not familiar with the explorer animation (cannot remember)and I believe those days IE sucked and we were all using Netscape, do you have an example?

              Basic SU output.

                  This is great!! Could you please post the sketchup-files of the three logo's? We will use one as the internet explorer thing, and the other as screensaver...

                    I would think that you would much prefer a logo rendered out of a ray tracer, as opposed to SU. You will get a much product, IMHO, once you can incorporate reflectivity, radiosity, and a custom lighting set up.

                    Cheers, Chuck
