Making a model rotate slowly

rob — Sun, 10 Jan 2021 16:42:07 GMT

I'm trying to animate this model so it rotates slowly then I can video it with a screen grab.

I've grouped all the bird and base parts together into a single model. When I've tried animating things before they go a bit fast for my needs to I thought I would animate the small disk at the front then link it to the model with a reduced speed ratio. Problem is, I can't work out how. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!

In the Design Environment I created a Revolve joint on the plate the bird is standing on. In the Animation Environment I created a 30 second rotation of that plate. You can create any time you desire but you did not specify. Model is attached.

I said in the Screencast it was 360 degrees in 1 minute, actually I meant to say 360 degrees in 30 seconds.
