Spinning Ceiling Fans - Gzdoom

[MikeyScoots]

Hey guys, I've seen several wads like RTC-3057, KDIZD and Valhalla that have spinning ceiling fans. Just wondering how to emulate this? Not sure if it's a middle texture that moves via script or polyobject? I've even read about inserting animated objects, but have 0 experience with blender. What's the best route here?

You can use animated textures, or a sequence of ceiling movers that make the construct look like it's spinning around, or a model, or a rotating polyobject, or a camera texture.

 

"Best" is what works for you, given the port you plan to develop for. Personally I'm using the second method. If you want to know how the aforementioned projects do this, just open them up in your editor of choice and have a look.

I have a model if you'd like to use it. You can see it here at 0:14 seconds in:
