Rotating 3D Object

I am creating an animation of a screw with a key on the top of it rotating. The only part of the screw that will appear to rotate will be the key on the top moving around the screw. I clicked on the 3D box to get the z axis rotation. I then changed the x axis rotation to 360 degrees. It rotates but when it does it remains 2D. Is there a way to keep the shape and fill of the screw as it rotates? Sorry if this is confusing. Hope someone can help.

Lauren, I've re-uploaded my 3D-layer primitives setups to my website (sorry that the latter is in such bad shape these days, I simply do not find enough time for the next step in its evolution). They are all rigged with expressions and only require you to duplicate layers or replace the solids. Maybe this gives you some ideas. Also do not forget that pre-CS3 the 3D Assistants Lite were included in AE which also would allow you to create such shapes.

Problem in moving Rotated Shape object

Hi All,
I want to move the rotated shape object based on the mouse movement
m able to move the object which is not rotated, but m facing the problem when i move the rotated object its moving position is not correct . I am expecting to maintain both shape objects movement is same, i mean if i did mouse movement to right rotated object moves upwards and normal object moves towards right insted of moving both r moving towards to right.
Pls help me
the following code is m using to moving the object
The one which in red color is not rotated and the one which is in black color has rotated.

Thought I knew Adobe...but can't figure out how to rotate an object in AdobeMUSE. Help?

I can't figure out how to rotate an object in Adobe Muse. I want an object to be half a bubble off plumb.

Hi ,
You can rotate an object in Muse by using the Transform toolbar and selecting the rotation angle. Please refer to this screenshot :- http://prntscr.com/52vtux
However, if you want to create a circular looking object , then all you need to do is, set the corners as Rounded, Make the Height and Width Equal and then increase the corner radius. This would give you the desired result.
Please refer to this screenshot :- http://prntscr.com/52vu9n
Hope this helps

CS6 - Is it possible to rotate multiple objects independent of one another?

CS6 - Is it possible to rotate multiple objects independent of one another? In other words selecting say 9 object in a grid then rotating the all 30 degrees on their own axis.

I forgot Transform > Again won't rotate each layer about its own centre.
It can be done, though. Record an Action of a layer being rotated and followed by Opt+] or Alt+] to target next layer. It should look like the screenshot below. Use it by first running it on the lowest target layer in the stack then running however many more times is required.

Swinging/Rotating an object in AE 5.5

Hi all,
I have a question about something that I am trying to achieve in AE5,5.
I have a clip that I would like to 'rotate' into the frame and was wondering how I could do this. If I might explain:
If you can imagine the action of a clapperboard, you might have an idea of the effect I'm trying to attain.Essentially, I'd like the clip to start offscreen on the right hand side of the frame, At this point, the clip would be rotated 90 degree clockwise. Over the a next couple of seconds, I'd like it to 'crash' down into the frame, rotating around the lower, right corner so that it ends up filling the frame and the correct way up :-). I thought it would be fairly easy to do this with a few adjustments around the anchor points but I seem to be having no luck as whenever I move the anchor point, the entire clip seems to move rather than just adjusting the point at which I'd like it to rotate.
What am I missing??
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Many thanks,
Sean

:-) Ah, I've been rumbled!! To be honest, I come from a straight video editing background and am just starting to get to grips with AE. I have just cracked open the Classroom-In-A-Book this week and (naively) thought that it might be something I could achieve simply by changing the anchor point from which to rotate the object around. Seems like I was slightly off track - maybe I should have perservered with the book before I tried!
Many thanks for the replies - I will certainly have a look at the blog post you mentioned and will see how I get on. From what I've seen so far, AE looks like it's going to be keep me occupied for many, many months to come. I'm looking forward to it!
thanks again,
Sean

In Macromedia Flash8 we had an option insert timeline effects rotate. Do we have any option to rotate an object in Adobe Flash cs5 and above

in Macromedia Flash8 we had an option insert>timeline effects>rotate. Do we have any option to rotate an object in Adobe Flash cs5 and above.

You can also use the following:
1 Select the object to rotate > Right Click > Create Motion Tween.
2 Click on the last frame of the Motion tween and choose the desired Rotation settings from Properties panel.

Click, animate rotation of Object by +90° via AS3?

I have a button that will rotate an object in its parent by 90 degrees every time its clicked:
b_rotate_CW.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, rotateCW);
function rotateCW(event:MouseEvent):void
Object(this).parent.module.rotation += 90;
Which is fine, but I think it would be a nice touch if the object's rotation were animated.
I tried this:
import fl.transitions.Tween;
import fl.transitions.easing.*;
import fl.transitions.TweenEvent;
b_rotate_CW.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, rotateCW);
function rotateCW(event:MouseEvent):void
var rCW:Tween = new Tween(Object(this).parent.module, "rotate", Strong.easeOut, 0, +90, .5, true);
... but it does nothing at all, I am guessing that "rotate" is a property option, I can find no documentation for that, only x, y, their scale and alpha.
I'm sure this has been done by many, can anyone offer a helpful clue as to how this function would be properly coded?
Thanks!

Thats brilliant, I tweaked it a little; replaced the 0 with the current angle of the clip) and now it works perfectly:
var rCW:Tween;
b_rotate_CW.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, rotateCW);
function rotateCW(event:MouseEvent):void
rCW = new Tween(Object(this).parent.module, "rotation", Strong.easeOut, Object(this).parent.module.rotation, Object(this).parent.module.rotation+90, .5, true);
Who would have known you could use a target path in place of a value?
Where can everyone learn AS3 as you know it?
Thank you again for your immense help!

Difficulty rotating ms3d object in java 3d

I've created a few ms3d objects and have managed to successfully load them into my J3d program.
I'm trying now to rotate this object through user interaction.
I will start by just getting the object to rotate first and then add the keyboard interaction.
Is it possible to rotate these objects, and does anybody have any link suggestions

Rotate and stop rotating an object

Hi
I want to rotate an object using the arrows on the keyboard when the mouse is over the object and it should not be possible to rotate the object when the mouse is not on the object.
I know how to rotate the object, when the mouse is over the object, but when I put the mouse outside the object I can still rotate the object. How do I make the rotation stop?
square1.addEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_OVER, around);
square1.addEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_OUT, normal);
function around(e:MouseEvent):void {
stage.addEventListener(KeyboardEvent.KEY_DOWN, rotate);
function rotate(event:KeyboardEvent):void {
switch (event.keyCode)
case Keyboard.RIGHT:
square1.rotation += 90;
break;
case Keyboard.LEFT:
square1.rotation -=90;
break;
function normal(e:MouseEvent):void {
trace("The object should not be rotating");
Thanks

use:
square1.addEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_OVER, around);
square1.addEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_OUT, normal);
function around(e:MouseEvent):void {
stage.addEventListener(KeyboardEvent.KEY_DOWN, rotate);
function rotate(event:KeyboardEvent):void {
switch (event.keyCode)
case Keyboard.RIGHT:
square1.rotation += 90;
break;
case Keyboard.LEFT:
square1.rotation -=90;
break;
function normal(e:MouseEvent):void {
stage.removeEventListener(KeyboardEvent.KEY_DOWN, rotate);

Javascript function to rotate an object around its axis

Hello,
I wonder if it is possible to rotate an object around its axis (eg 45 ° rotation)?
I want to make this rotation with a button and a Javascript code!
Is it possible? if so, have a track for me to start?
thank you

Possible, yes - but you will need some basic knowledge of how 3D matrix transformations work if you want to do anything complex.
The code to rotate a node in a 3D scene by 45 degrees on the X axis is
myNode.transform.rotateAboutXInPlace(Math.PI/4)

Rotating an object about a specific point!

Hello Guys!
Have a new Problem!
I want to rotate an object about a specific point. But up to now i only can rotate something about the x,y,z axis!
Is this possible to rotate a scene about the point 1,1,1?
Transform3D rotation = new Transform3D();
rotation.setRotation(new AxisAngle4d(-x, -y, 0,((Math.PI / 2) - angle)));
I don't handle it with Alpha because i needn't an animation!
Please help me!

Hello,
to rotate an Object A about the Point P you have to do the following:
1. Get the Transform T which transforms P to Point (0,0,0)
2. Apply T on A
3. Rotate A (around (0,0,0))
4. Transform A with the inverse of T

Rotation of objects

I'm trying to move objects from A to B (Round photos on a background of a map). During its way from A to B the object is shrinking. So far no problem. But my intention was to rotate the object on its "journey".
But I didn't found a clue to work with anchor points, so the object is flying around an unknown anchor point (visible on the screenshot) instead of just turning in circles.
I enclose two screenprints for your information.
Am I asking too much?
Not clear yet? I'll try to explain furher.
Rob

Rob,
This is described in the help file and manual (page 258+). Select the clip in the timeline so it shows in the program monitor, select the motion effect in the effect controls panel and then adjust the anchor point by adjusting the figures in your screenshots by dragging left of right for both horizontal and vertical position. You can keyframe the anchor points so it flows nicely with the other keyframes you have set.

How do you rotate an object to any angle

I have Adobe Acrobat 9 Pro. I am adding an object eg. square to the PDF file. I now want to rotate it to any angle, which I cannot do. I tried the help menu (TouchUp Object Tool) step by step and i am unsuccessfull. Please help.

Thank you George for helping
From Tools Menu. I selected customize toolbar, then selected rectangle tool from Comment and Markup Toolbar, then OK. Then from toolbar I selected the Rectangle and inserted it. I now need to rotate it.
I have not tried the flattenning method, but after reading the notes by flattenning it becomes part of the page and can no longer be edited which is not what I require. Note I only need to rotate the little square on the page to any angle and not in 90 degree increments.
The notes in the help topic (In Acrobat) on touchup object tool mentions it can be rotated incrementally, but when i follow the steps it does not work out. There is no handle to rotate the object.
Regards
Richard

Snap rotate an Object by 60 degrees around a selected point?

Hello,
I am looking for a simple and precise way to rotate and copy an object at precisely 60 degree increments around a preselected point that is NOT the middle of the object.
To restate: I want to be able to have all my objects at precise angles and be rotating around a selected pre-chosen point.
I have tried many different ways with no luck.
Can anyone help a noob?
Dave-o

I just checked the Download-able Help PDF (the Illustrator CS4 Online manual) and it is indeed documented under "Rotate an object by a specific angle" Unfortunately, it does not jump out off the screen.
I understand why they don't ship manuals to reduce cost and keep a greener footprint, but I really miss them especially when you pay $500+ for a software suite. Next time I will RTFOLM! :-)
Thanks again Scott

How do i partially rotate an object??

hi people,
i'm having trouble rotating an object - i can make it rotate
fine but i can not make it rotate 90 degrees.
i essentially want it to turn 90 degrees anti clockwise and
then stay there - all i can manage to do is make it rotate 1 full
rotation minimum.
is there any way i can make it rotate a quater of a rotation.
haven't been able to find any help on this so far.
thanks

This is an animated roatation right? Hard to tell if you want
to rotate an object in the flash
authoring environment.
I assume it is animation so:
1. Keyframe 1 symbol is in its original position
2. insert keyframe 2 somewhere down the timeline
3. rotate your symbol 90 degrees
4. apply motion tween.

Rotate an object

Now there is a way to rotote an object....like clockwise..CW
or CWW.....
If I want to rotate an object but not just clockwise....I
mean for example to move a ball that move around another ball ...
like 3D not 2D...is it possible ? If not what do I need to do
to do this ?

Hi
Int he first, you can create an animation for the ball while
moves over the other ball in a layer above the standing ball. add
the moving ball to a layer beneath the standing ball and created
the animation part that goes behind the ball in it.
This is in a brief, but you can search in google.com or
www.flashkit.com about this rotation effect, I am sure you will
find alot of its samples.
