I was trying to animate some propeller blades on a helicopter and I got to the point of how to make them rotate from the first frame to the last frame, what I need to know is how do I make them spin a certain velocity, ie: 7300 rpm. In the revolution area under the motion tab I can only put in 180.

My second question is how do I parent a light to the helicopter where the navigation lights are?

This is my first endeavor with Carrara and it is a lot different from the other 3D programs that I have (Poser 7, Vue 6 Infinite and Daz Studio) I really like this on most of all.

I have gone through some of the tutorials but I need some outside help from you all out there.

Thanks,

Sam
