How would you animate a object (wheel, fan blade, propeller or what ever) so that it slowly starts spinning and accelerates to a given speed and then stays at the top speed for the rest of the animation?
I have made static spinning objects but would love to have them “start up.”
Thanks for any help.

IPO curve.
Select the object, go to the IPO window, If it alredy has a rotation there will be an IPO curve for that. Edit the points as for any Bezier curve.

Hi, Phil! I’m Phil.
To make an object start up like that
[>] Add 2 keyframes for the rotation, ine whan it starts and one when it hits top speed.
[>] Go to the IPO window (Shift+F6) and select the rotation in the list on the right
[>] Click the button that has a dot with an arrow going off at an angle
[>] Select the curve and press Tab
[>] Make the first tangent horizontal and the second tangent angled at the speed you want it to rotate at.
