Spinner
-
A few years ago, I believe SD did a custom plugin that would spin a model, called Spin-it, I brought that one over from SU8 to SU2013, and it works well. I ran into a problem tonight, however, trying to use Chris's camera recorder, it would record the spin from the spin view option of the Spin-it plugin, but it would not export the recording from "spin object" option, ok not totally true, it exported the images but they were 400+ copies of the same image, not what I wanted. Is there an alternative plug in that will do this?

Using Windows Movie Maker the 400+ images are made into the movie file type you choose. It's basically a huge animation.

I have done a successful animation video using the spin view option, because it actually creates 400 DIFFERENT images, the spin object creates 400 copies of the SAME identical image

Ooohh... Well that's no good...

In spin view, the "camera" is moved so the scene changes and you get a "different" image in each scene.
In spin object, the camera position never changes so, even though you see the object rotate, the "scene" doesn't. To get the desired results, you need to save the image to a file after each rotation step.
I have updated the Spin_It plugin on my blog to give you the option of creating the image files for Spin View and Spin Object. Works best for me on SU8. For some reason, on SU2013, the view doesn't get updated between each step.
