Hello Alex,
We will be glad to help you learn to make the images spin for yourself but we will not do the work for you.
Hi Alex, Have a look at my tutorial (click on the link in my signature below) to give you the principles of what you need to do. This will take you as far as having the same graphic on both sides.
Bill Taylor's excellent tutorial will show you how to make what you want with a different graphic on each face.
Come back and ask if you get stuck at any stage.
Saludos,
Bob.
There is also an old thread here in the Xara3D forum.

Hey guys, thanks alot. I think I might start using this forum, it seems like a nice place.
I'll post the spinning gif here when I'm done so you can tell me what you think.
This is the best I can do :/

Good work Alex. The only thing I would change would be a small tweak ti the light positions to stop the dark/light glare.
I would say that it's a very good effort for your first attempt.
Try experimenting with moving the lighting arrows to get rid of the very dark and light parts of the animation. (I see Keith beat me to it) :)
Saludos,
Bob.
Well done Alex.
If you change the background colour to match the page where the animation will be displayed the dark 'jaggies' will go away.
Alex,
Now that's something you can be proud of. A few tweaks to the lighting and background color as mentioned above and you'll be the talk of the geocache community for some time.
Oh, and an enthusiastic welcome to TalkGraphics and the wonderful world of Xara Software, also!
Bang up job,
Harry
Thanks for the tips guys. I'm kinda struggling with the lighting. Have you any tips for me on how to reduce the light/dark glares?
Thanks
Click on the Show/Hide Lighting (Ctrl+Tab), start your animation, then move the lighting arrows around until you minimize the glare burst. Some trial and error is necessary because of the various shapes, bevels, extrusion depth, color schemes, etc. used in the animations. Since you've gotten this far, I'm sure you'll get the hang of it pretty quickly. Oh, and BTW, sometimes changing the color of the lights is more effective in reducing the glare than the position of the lights, alone.
Check it out,
Harry

Ok, thank you :)
Heres another attempt at a spinning GIF I did. I tried to reduce the glare on it.
Let me know what you guys think. :)

You've solved the glare problem, but I think you need to use a lighter colour on one or two or even all three of your lights. It's very dark in there.
Saludos,
Bob.
Hi Alex,
Post #6 and #14 both now have broken image links.
It is for this reason that we ask you attach your images to posts at TalkGraphics.
Thanks
Steve
Attachment 128681I wanna make a 3D spinning gif double sided please help me
Hi Lock,
Welcome to TalkGraphics. It's a long time since I've used Xara3D. Here's my attempt, hope it helps you. Also attached your logo as a transparent png image used as the texture.
@Egg, I do find it strange that a pop-up ask for a solution to a Post that is 111/2 years stale defeats me.
Hats off to you but none to the OP who cannot be bothered to read the Posts and use the application.
I think TG etiquette should advise such posers be put as How do I questions.
This avoid a single solution for an individual and the answer will benefit all future enquirers.
X3D > Options > Animate > Animation options > Style: Rotate + Front face only: Untick.

egg - you will remember that bob [iamtheblues] wrote the manual for the xara 3d spinning logo, I flew the flag for inkscape vectorisation, and john [zaphodeist] and others all chipped in - all over ten years ago
in a way good to see xara 3d dusted off... it's a legacy app that has been overtaken by better ways of doing things... but if someone still wants a rotating gif for some reason it works
@ acorn - we, the members, give what we choose to give, the way we choose to give it.. the alternative is we don't ;)
It just rankles that we then end up thinking for others.Quote:

He probably can't RTFM, as he probably doesn't own TF program.
Probably true but flags wave when a punter registers as Tulsa, OK yet is served through Altanta, GA.Quote:

possibly... and back in the day [before you were a member :p] we often went by the rule of 'teach a man to fish...' - but TG started ouit as a place to show what you could do, as well as help - it is now mostly something else, which is really a pity...
Can't agree more with Acorn. Going back over the years when I was a moderator here on TG we had a very strict rule that we would not create gif's or .x3d files for posters as it was almost a daily event for such requests on this forum. However this forum is now not even a backwater, more a dried up creek. On seeing this request it's been so long since I'd opened X3D I thought I'd see if I could remember how it was done.
On opening the program I got a warning that the program was corrupt and to reinstall it (Windows update again?). I did so and worked on the latest OP's request. Having got it to work I thought what the hell no one ever posts in this forum, may as well upload the file.
I fully understand but newbies blaring in with demands and who smack of being potential spammers need a Q&A session before helping out.Quote:

Bill Taylor's response in https://www.talkgraphics.com/showthr...090#post320090 sums it up.
OP Lock has failed to thank you or re-appear to ask for it to go in the opposite direction and North-South.

Agreed also this was a very old post.Quote:
