Ok first, the animation itself is ok. Are you making it stop intentionally before repeating it's cycle? If you want it to rotate smoothly continuously, turn the frame rate to 0 for all frames.


TIP: to do this in ONE motion, click the first frame, then hold SHIFT and click the last frame. Then change the frame rate. It's just like a normal windows multi-select function. ;)


Also... you have to "unLink" the type layer's Layer Mask. This type mask must remain where it is. If the 2 are linked and you move the type, you also move the mask. Click the chain link between the layer and it's Mask to unLink them.


To avoid the ugliness from rotating the shape Storm, you need to ONLY use the Layer Styles applied to a flat 2D shape. Not a 3D one like you have. It's your main 3D looking shape that is getting "ugly" from the editing. Instead, fill the shape with a middle grey and use only the Layer Style for the metallic effect. Then it'll look perfect no matter how much you rotate it.


Here... i've put a metallic style in your PSD file and added the extra layers needed. You can tweak this Style to your own tastes. In IR the animation has been done.


What is our favorite program/app? (Hint - it begins and ends with the letter P)
