Can somebody teach me how to make an object in 3dsmax5 to rotate, in an animation?

  • Select the object
  • Create a starting keyframe
  • Make sure auto key is activated
  • Move to the frame where the rotation should be complete
  • Select the rotate tool
  • Click and drag the object with the rotate tool
  • Play from the first keyframe to see your rotation

Thank you very much ;)
And it is very simple too ^^

EDIT: Updated the model. If you want, place the .tga on the desktop.

You did a good job of keeping it smooth, and not breaching the 90 degree point on any of the rotations. Good job.

Thank you very much =)
I really appreciate your help!

EDIT: Btw, do I have to do something more, before I export it into mdx/mdl? So the animations work I mean?
