I'm using qavimator and I am unable to do multiple rotation of the avatar. It's very simple, I want to rotate the hip 3-4 times on Y axis, but qavimator allows only rotation to 359, I don't know how to continue the rotation in the same direction further. Help?

Just turn it back around from -359 and go from there.
360 is exactly the same as 0 or -360. so you could even start from 0 and go up again. The degrees go around in a circle, from 0 to 359. 360 is effectively the same as 0. So if you want to turn a few times, you would go.. 0, 45, 90, 135, 180, 215, 270, 315, 359, 45, 90, 135..... Just watch out to put two keyframes together tight, to make the jump from 359 back to 0. Otherwise qavimator will interpolate the frames wrong. _____________________

Again, the problem persists.

I tried what you said, it works well till 359 when it rotates clockwise......but then when I move to 45, the av rotates back to 0 clockwise. The only way out for me is to place a keyframe of 0 right next to the 359 and then proceed to 45, which makes the rotation choppy. Is there a work around or am I doing it all wrong?

go to 359, make sure it is a keyframe and on the next frame set it to 0 and make sure that is a keyframe. Continue your rotation back to 359 and do it again as needed. This works with Poser, not sure about with qanimator but it should work.

if you're seeing choppiness it's probably because your other frames change at a different rate than 1deg per frame... check that rate, then make sure the difference between your overlap frames (the ones around 359-0) are keeping that effective rate.
ex... if it takes you 45 frames to rotate 360 degrees, then 360 / 45 = 8, so the next frame after (that you will key) needs to be 8 degrees for a smooth rate of rotation. _____________________

make certain you have the ease in and ease out UNCHECKED on the hip, it slows it to that keyframe then comes slowly out of it
if frame 1 is 0..... frame 15 is 180.... frame 16 is --180.... frame 30 is 0.... (just an example) it is a pretty good spin on at 30fps the human eye can see 10-15fps, 30fps or higher should disguise the slight pause _____________________
