I'm trying to create some parts of the solar system, and am stuck trying to rotate the moon around the earth on the timeline. I have grouped the moon and earth objects together so I can select the moon, hit the up arrow on the keyboard and thus make it rotate around the earth as its parent, but the earth is then selected too and using the rotation tool rotates them both. What I want to achieve is the earth rotating slowly and the moon rotating round the earth at a different speed.
How can I select the earth as the central rotation point for the moon object, but not have the earth selected/rotate too?
I hope that makes sense, I'm sure it's gotta be quite simple, well as simple as anything can be in Maya!
Cheers
