Spinning Cubes

1. Physics - Constant torque

This method uses the "Constant Force" component to set a contant torque on the rigid body. Angular drag is used to stabilize the rotation to an acceptable speed.

2. Physics - Initial angular velocity

This method sets an initial angular velocity on the rigid body via script. Angular drag is set to zero to make sure that the rotation won't stop.

3. Animated cube

We add a component "Animator" to a cube. This component plays an animation which modifies the cube's transform. This animation has been created via Unity's curve editor in the Animation Window.

4. Video player

We play a video on the near plane of the camera which represents a spinning cube.

5. Scripted rotation

In the update of a C# script attached to the cube we rotate the object.

6. Animating VS

Using a vertex shader to rotate the cube.

7. Web Player

Jennifer - couldnt find a ogg movie on the internet with a spinning cube YET

8. API drawcalls

Drawing via GL utilities a spinning cube.

9. Animated Texture

Using an array of textures representing a spinning cube and using a script to animate them.

10. Sprite

Using a sprite to show an animated spinning cube.

11. Rotating camera

Camera animation: rotation around the cube.

12. Navmesh and look at

In this method we have the cube always looking at an invisble target. This target turns around you via the use of Nav Mesh.

13. Draw Mesh

This method simply pushes a request each frame to draw a cube at different rotation.

14. Network replica

We replicate the transform over the network via Client-Server.

15. Import FBX animated cube

Created in blender an animated cube. Export to FBX after Rigifying the model.

16. Particle system

Simple particle system with only 1 particle, represented by our cube mesh :)

17. Cubic fog in the eye of a twister

Well... isnt it obvious? Not done yet (and probably never).

18. Animated Text

Spinning cube viewed from the top but rendered via GUI Text.
