I've been making a large sized helicopter with a four cubes as the rotor blade assembly. I'd like to animate the rotor blades as a texture, but, when I use the Rotate flag, the texture tends to rotate in the center of the individual prim. Is there a way to rotate the prim where the four prims meet, or a better way to get the same effect with scaling or even rotating the cubes (although I doubt this works well)? I have seen someone do something similar and they used a single texture, so I'm not sure what trick I need to do with the scripting to get the textures to align and rotate properly.

You would have to animate each surface as 1/4 of the arc, and it's likely there would be sync issues.

Seems to me that this would be similar to most ceiling fan scripts, no?
See if you can find someone who's made a fan or two to give you a nudge.
