Hey everybody maybe you can help me with this problem of animated rotation.

Here is the basic outline of what I want to create. There are 2 things.

1) I just want to have an image that goes round and around chasing it's own tail to to speak without any jumping motion from the last fram to the first frame.
Almost like you have a picture in your hand and you bend it into a tube shape so the left and right side are now touching. If you turn the tube around in your hand it looks like a continous fluid motion.


2) I Need something to spin 360 degrees around a flat object. Example. If you had an image of a sun and it was spinning 360 degrees and on the sun you had an image of a smiley face so it would then look like the smiley face was stationary and the beams of sun light were spinning around the face.

These are thigns I am having trouble with.
I am using PS3 and I know my way around the animation and I have looked up some tutorials but they describe using Image Ready and I don't have nor want that.
Thankyou for your time if you help me with this drinks.gif
