Hi Derek
Thanks for the response. You are right that it will probably be easier to remake the object in 3D. I am still not sure how to track the shape as the object turns though.
I have uploaded a video of one of the other, more complex objects. But the idea is the same as the turning wheel.

In the clip you will see a toy with a gas mask. I want to make the front of the mask, the part with the holes, spin. Then continue to spin as the head turns. Is there a way to track the shape of the front of the mask and have my animated part follow that shape while continuing to spin?
Apologise if my explanation is terrible.
