Tutorials....

hello everyone,
i;ve only been using SP for about the last week, yet i have not been able to find any help or any good tutorials on how to properly use the joints or to add multiple joints to a single object. I had been hoping to model a working pendulum clock, though obviously the big problem whith that would be to build a chain for the drive eight.(gears have been a problem as well....) anyhelp would be greatly appreciated.

Sorry there aren't more tutorials. I am not much good at making them. Best source is all the models on 3dwarehouse.
A clock.

Hey, thanks for the reply,
yeah... i do realize that the clock animation is a bit advanced to be jumping into,lol. I've been looking into a tutorial on how to create a piston, and been trying to get that working.one of the big problems i've been having can be found in a piston in fact. that problem being to get multiple joints to a single piece, like the connecting rod between the piston and the crank shaft.
Anyways, thanks for the suggestions,
Mike

Looks good!
Here is a tip. You can use the layer manager to hide/unhide your joints. All joints are placed on a layer.
