Blender Tutorial: Spin an object constantly

In this Blender tutorial, you'll learn how to spin / rotate an object constantly. The example uses a propeller, that I built in one of my earlier tutorials, but you can use any object.

Another easy way.
After making the keyframes, go to graph editor. While there, press shift e. Click make cyclic. It will spin forever. Your welcome...

for anyone who just wants to know how to do this quickly just open the graph editor for your rotating object select z rotation select the dots on the line and change interpolation to linear

Thanks for your video - among several videos I've found on similar subjects were not that clear on how to make a perfect loop EASILY. However, I've managed to work out a good technic based on your lesson. I am a beginner in Blender, and I was struggling with simple task like smoothly rotating discoball and I did it perfectly looped by: framerate - 60 fps, amount of frames - 1 - 360. My 1st frame set as 1st key frame with Z rotation set to 1 degree (!) and 360th frame is set as 2nd keyframe with Z rotation set to 360 ! So, when my discoball is about to finish full rotation it won't show zero degree frame twice. Of course, I've done linear interpolation and cycles modifier before.

Very nice, thanks for the tutorial :)

[jjmartin]

Thankyou! I get it now.
One question: Is there a benefit (like processing speed or memory) to having a symmetrical game asset rotate the full 360° once instead of repeating a lower angle rotation multiple times?
You could also have set the prop to a rotation at 120° and it would have looked the same to our human eyes (adjusting for speed). Is that a personal preference or is there a benefit/tradeoff to do it one way over the other?

did you say click 'r' for rotate? then 'z', then 0? doesbn't work at all. can's understand what you are saying.
