Simulating the look of motion

[Eric2575]

Like a tire and rim that's speeding down the street, or in my case, the prop of a small airplane. I've got the prop boned, but I want the prop to look like it's going 5000rpm. How do I achieve that look?

I believe there was a thread on this about 5 or 6 weeks ago. As I remember, you create an action with 5 or 6 frames, move the prop a few degrees on each frame, then render it as a single frame in choreography. But if its for an animation there may be a different trick.

No, no, that's what I want, it's for a still. Thanks Ed, I'll try and find that thread.

 

Before posting this thread, I did a search with all sorts of parameters and came up with pretty much zilch. Then I got relly, relly smart and put "Propeller" in the search. Duh!

Great. Post an image when you get it done

I followed the method Seven posted and it worked great. Since I haven't applied the decals to the plane yet, I'm going to wait before posting a pic. I'll have it by this weekend.
