I've got an animation that I need some help on.
I've been asked to animate a logo based on a screw so that it appears to rotate about its horizontal axis. I can't seem to get this quite right. I've attached the logo for reference.

Hi Robert, welcome to the forum.
If the attached is what you are looking for, you'll need to use Xara 3D in conjunction with Xara Xtreme.
Copy a vector version of the logo from Xtreme to the clipboard, and paste it into Xara 3D.
In Xara 3D select the animation options as shown in the screenshot.
Ask away if I've made my instructions too brief.
Saludos,
Bob.
Or is this the way you mean?
In the beginning I wondered, how did he do that?
Very clever Egg, when I downloaded the swf and played it bigger I could
figure it out, and it was way simpler then I thought at first, cleverly done.
Egg is simply amazing with animations.
Egg this one puzzles me. The head appears to rotate top forward toward the viewer. However the shaft (threads) appear to rotate top back away from the viewer. :D
Yes and thanks for the comments. It's for from easy to create. The vectors were created in XX and the swf animation created in Flash.
BillYou're quite correct. It's a Taiwanese nut .... no matter which way you turn it, it tightens up ;-).Quote:

Really though that give me problems (which weren't resolved). Not only did I have the Head and the Thread turning in different directions but also at different speeds. Animation is never simple!
