I am attempting a nft project for collectible cards. Regardless if they sell it is a learning experience for me as a new blender user.

I have completed my card and stand but now I want to animate it a little to give it more flare. To start I have no idea how to animate an object in blender yet as I am still very new. I have tried looking for tutorials but none quite show what I want to do.

My question to you all is how do I rig or animate my scene so that my card rotates a few degrees left and right (not a full 360, more like 5 degrees each way).

To edit my question, let me just say that I am so new to blender and the animation process that I don't know where to go.

Thanks for any help

    $\begingroup$ Hi :). I'm no animator, but this should be very simple even without any rigging. Just animating the object rotation should do. $\endgroup$

  • $\begingroup$ Fair enough I agree it should be simple, I have edited my post question to be a little more specific about my problem. $\endgroup$

    $\begingroup$ in that case I recommend to visit some tutorial that covers Blender animation with keyframes basics you just want to use rotation and maybe location keyframe as well at one frame 1, go to keyframe 10, rotate it by 5°, add rotation keyframe and repeat $\endgroup$

  • $\begingroup$ the problem with your question now is, that you don't focus on ONE question as you should (these are the rules, i didn't make them). So you ask for rotation animation of card, and additionally for a text animation and so on. So i think your question will be closed unless you ask one question. I agree with MikoCG...and i will answer just one question of your multiple questions $\endgroup$

So here i answer the question, how can i rotate a text around a stand?

Add a text -> shift A -> Text

Tab -> edit your text as you want

enter image description here

R X 90

R Z 90

G X 5

Shift A -> Empty -> Sphere

Now select your text in object mode, then shift-select the sphere

enter image description here

CTRL-P -> Object

Select the Empty

Hover cursor over z-location and press I

enter image description here

enter image description here

go to frame 100

enter image description here

enter 360 in z location

enter image description here

Hover over z location and press I again

enter image description here

When the cursor is in 3D Viewport, press space and watch:
