Hello 'Sir Francisco',

I think you're making things harder on yourself....


For exemple :

// 50 degrees -> +/- 25 deg or something else, of course
#declare Amplitude = 50;
#declare HalfAmplitude = Amplitude*0.50;


Object to animate is "Object"

object {
   Object
   rotate sin(clock*tau)*HalfAmplitude*z
   }

'clock' from 0.0 to 1.0


In this exemple, oscillations is around z-axis.

I hope this helps...
