I have a newbie question regarding animations.  I have a POV scene which
contains a complex model (actually a 3D protein structure).  I would
like to make an animation which rotates the entire molecule around in a
defined way.

What is the best way to do this? I have considered rotating the camera
around the object but then the lighting gets messed up in certain
places.  Second, it is not easy to describe the motion around the object
in 3D.

Is there a way to rotate the entire object as one?  The protein model is
composed of many tubes, spheres and triangles.  How do I refer to the
whole thing as one object?

Any suggestions would be appreciated.

Mike
