Rotor

DESCRIPTION

This module makes input geometry data rotate automatically in Render. It adds an SoRotor node to the original scene.

You can define the direction of rotation by setting the 'X', 'Y', 'Z' components of the axis of rotation. You can set the rotation speed with the 'Speed' dial. The rotation can be turned on or off using the 'On' parameter.
