    I’m trying to get a logo made in zaxwerks to spin, but only show the front when it rotates. I tried to mirror it but it didn’t come out right. Thanks in advance for any help.

    How about just modelling it so that the logo is on both sides of the model…

    You could just make an animation of the front rotating, then dissolve to a copy of the same anim as it rotates edge-on to camera? Hopefully you won’t see any issues during the dissolve …

    I did try that, but it looked odd because there are holes in the logo that show through to a background image.

    I didn’t think of that, thank you. I’m betting it will be my best bet.

    Hi,

    The trick is to split your Invigorator layer when your set’s rotation reaches 90 degrees (Profile). Then alter your second Invigorator set rotation to fit your needs (Minus value)

    Check the archive in the Zaxwerks forum if you want more details.

    Salut.
    Serge

    That is what I ended up doing, and shockingly enough, got it correct on the first try. Thanks to everyone for the help breaking my brain-lock on this problem.
