Joint orientation
I am new to joint orientation and am really unfamiliar with the procedure. Is anyone experienced in it, or knows where I can find a tutorial that will help me out?
Thanks so much.

most important thing is to understand which axis you set for the joint pointing down on it. play a lot with local rotation axis. maybe construct a very basic joint chain and experiment a lot. understanding joint orientation comes with practice - believe me! create joints and orient. click each button in the menu a hundred times. this is a good intuitive approach learning about orienting joints.
Jason Schleifer´s site -> www.jonhandhisdog.com
also tutorials from Alex Alvarez were very informative!
if you have a specific question later on, just ask.
everything starts and ends in the right place at the right time.
