Creating a 3D rotation animation ...

I need to create a 3D rotation animation. What's the easing way to approach? I'm looking into animated gif, JavaScript and Flash. For variety of reasons, it would be great if I can do this using animated gif or JavaScript.

I found the following tutorial:

http://www.tutorialsite.org/tutorial.php?tut=3D Text Rotation

Pretty cool stuff, but I just want to rotate an image around y-axis. I don't want to display that on a sphere, corn or anything like that.

Thanks for your help in advance.

 

I would be interested in having something like this for my site aswell

 

I found a couple of JavaScript scripts to do this ...

1. http://ajaxian.com/archives/3d-style-animation-in-javascript
2. http://ctho.ath.cx/toys/3d.html
3. http://www.uselesspickles.com/triangles/demo.html

but ...

1. Too slow ...
2. Need to construct texts and images just using lines ...
3. Same thing ...

 

What type of object are you looking to rotate?

 

I have a certain company's logo. I want to rotate that around y-axis. I can also say that it's spinning around y-axis.

I can just rotate the flat logo or I can give it 'some width.'

 

If you just want to rotate text around an axis in a 3D animated gif, you can use Xara3D. You can see an example of this in the headers at either of the links in my signature.

For a more complex logo, you could convert it into a vector image using Xara Xtreme from the same vendor, then import it into Xara3D and make it spin.
