Hey everybody:
    I don't really know where to send this, so it goes here. The
question is: I have been able to create a TMD file consisting of
multiple objects, like an action figure. However, there seems to be no
direct way to assign local axes to each part, which makes using separate
objects almost pointless. (In case anyone hadn't guessed already, this
is intended to fuel a 3d fighting game.) Is there a utility for this, or
perhaps some way to assign axes at the modellign phase of design where
the TMD file will recognise them? This is something of a brick wall for
me, and I need to get past it soon. . . any help would be appreciated.
    Thanks in advance
    Walter Griswold
