I'm using MAX8 and for the first time I try to do a decent unwrapping using Skyraiders tutorial http://www.military-meshes.com/forums/showthread.php?t=61

At one point I must make a small animation to move the different elements to a layout that fits to a square area. I understand the idea but I'm not possible to move/rotate (animate) seperate elements. I know how to animate objects but not sub-objects. I have a feeling something new has come into version 8 of MAX but I'm not sure. Who knows? Thanks in advance!

And the answer is:

Collapse the model first to an editable poly.... :err:

Skyraider helped me out in a private mail. Thanks!

Meshes are soooo 20th century... ;)
A few days of editable poly modelling and you'll never look back.
