Hey all,

Well basically I have created a scene with an object (like a fan) in it, but
what I am trying to do is actually rotate the object around quite quickly so it
looks like its creating a gust of wind. All i need to know is how to do the
rotating business?? I mean....I have tried rotating it with the clock variable
in the x, or the y, or the z axis...but it just moves the head of the object
around the screen...instead of what i want (making it rotate around and around
on the spot)!

Does anyone have any ideas!?!?

Regards,

Rotations are around the origin of the scene. POV-Ray has no idea what 
the "center of the object" is. You need to rotate the object before 
moving it. Keep it centered at the origin, rotate it, *then* move it to 
the place you want it on the scene.
