Make a GIF

Hi, Dears!

How can I make a GIF with animation for my model? I need a very simple animation.
I have tried a Std DemoMode.
But I do not understand how it rotate my model. How can I alter a center of rotation?

Please always include you full About info when posting for assistance.

To auto-rotate the model see Std_DemoMode
To capture as an animated gif you'll need a 3rd part software fit for you OS. IIRC we do have a page on the wiki describing options. Anyone know what it is?

Maybe this code can be a good starting point:

You would still need some application to combine the separate images.

Gimp can combine a set of images to an animated gif.

I did it. I used Std_DemoMode and Peek on my Linux.
The question is how I can change a rotation center of my model.
The center of rotation is not center of my model.

Some Mouse Models offer the H key for recentering, but it requires an object under the mouse when invoking it. If you want to turn around some empty point in space, place some new object there (e.g. a standard cube from Part workbench), place the mouse over the desired point of rotation, and hide or remove the object. Then start the turntable.

You can try macro view rotation also and angle setting in turntable along with suggestion by @chrisb. It seemed to work better when in a top or side view.

hi

tray also Macro_Screen_Wiki

for save multi image for create one animation (with Gimp or other screentogif)

also Macro_Rotate_To_Point

for create one complete macro (rotate or translate your object(s) save the coordinate step by step and run the macro to see the animation

Sorry, but Screen Wiki does not save any files!
I have tried to press Save Image, New Image and Save the animation.
The animation is worked, the object was rotated, but I cannot find any files anywhere.
