I have a working animation, just not the way I would like.
I would like the object to rotate 90 degrees with a delay (works) then continue to rotate 90 degrees, ultimately looping forever. No matter what I do, it always resets. Even if I set up 4 tweens taking me to 360, the last tween that resets back zero makes the whole object spin in the opposite direction.
Thanks

=====EDIT=====
I got it working, not sure if this is the most efficient approach but I'm satisfied:
var start = {}
start.y = 0;
var targ = {};
targ.y = 90*Math.PI/180
function rot(s,t) {
start["y"] = s;
targ["y"] = t;
}
var cnt1 = 1;
var cnt2 = 2;
rot(0,90*Math.PI/180);
var tween = new TWEEN.Tween(start).to(targ, 1000).delay(1000);
tween.onUpdate(function() {
group.rotation.y = start.y;
})
tween.onComplete(function() {
_c = cnt1++;
_d = cnt2++;
rot((_c*90)*Math.PI/180,(_d*90)*Math.PI/180)
});
tween.chain(tween);
tween.start();
Simple call setTimeout when tween is end ( http://jsfiddle.net/bhpf4zvy/ ):
Upd: pfff, what nonsense am I??? Simple use relative animation (http://jsfiddle.net/vv06u6rs/7/):
