can any one tell me how to rotate an object about 2 axes? Like the Earth spinning about it's own axes and also spinning around the sun.

Rotate the object and link the object to a dummy (or the sun) which is also rotating.

<<<can any one tell me how to rotate an object about 2 axes? Like the Earth spinning about it's own axes and also spinning around the sun.>>> Hello there. Set your scene up Sun, Earth, etc.. Set the rotation for your Earth. Then use orbit.kxp for the rotation around the Sun. Orbit comes with 3D Studio. You also can use Pyro's Soltrak. This is a routine that will let the user set up solar system or lighting for sun path's. Mike White

You could also rotate the camera…
