Chainsaw animation


#1

So i have to animate a chainsaw for my next short film, i have some ideas but not sure if its going to work.
A friend of mine suggested to use motion paths, but i think i have do multiples motion paths for each of the chain of the saw( i dont know the name of it).
Im using Maya to animate, any ideas ??
My chainsaw looks like this(the blade is extracted from the chainsaw):

Probably the quickest way would be what you friend said. If all you need is the chain teeth to spin you could attach them all to a motion path. And ya, you would have to attach them all separately, but to only one curve.
