ok heres the problem im running in to. i got a globe (earth) and im tryin to get it to rotate. the rotation and keyframing is not the problem, the problem is that earth sits on an angle and spins on its axis. but when i set the H rotation, the axis doesnt stay in place. i was wonderin if theres an easy way to get it to lean like 10 degrees. what i was thinking was Tools>Camera Rotation, but i cant seem to find out how that works. If anyone can describe how to use that tool or how to keep the axis on its line i would apreciate it. thx

The best thing to do is animate the globe's H axis, then put it in a null and bank the null instead of the globe.

Irony aside (:)), it stands for "read the effing manual." Not intended to offend--it's just that these are extremely basic concepts, which suggests that you need to spend a little time with the manual and some tutorials.
