by the way,when i followed your tutorial in maya, i didint parent the flash poly to the gun right away, when i was done i did, when i tried to see if the flash would move with the gun, it went all wonky, found out that you shouldint parent directly to the gun, parent to a nurb curve inside the muzzle flash, THEN parent the nurb to the gun. just something i figured out peoples might wanna know if they get snagged on that part.

@MrEarlSwift If you parent the muzzle flash to the gun first, you will be fine.

very nice, although it would be nice if you could do a closer up vidio of it, so we can see just where he is clicking, some of the times when he isint descibing what he's doing i cant tell what he's clicking on.
