With this quick tutorial, you'll learn how to rotate a 3D object so that the rotation continues throughout the entire length of your animated scene. This is very helpful for things like rotating planets, propellers, wheels, windmills, etc.

We'll be using Blender's IPO Curve Editor for this technique and you'll also learn some very important fundamentals for understanding how to interpret curves within the IPO Editor.

This tutorial is compatible with Blender 2.44 and up.

Enjoy!
