Yes...Santa hasn't even dropped down our chimneys to give us presents and joy...and yes...Halloween is far gone, and farther to the next one...but inspiration beckons me.  The shrill sounds coming from the mutilated muse tear apart the air, scattering my doubts like frightened mice in the shadows.  I will challenge not your fear...but your very ability to look away...to breathe...to feed.

Behold...the essence of what will become my first windowblind...

Has anyone taken a look back recently?  Check out the oldest window blinds...blink a few times...and look at what we have now.  Crazy no?  All I did was sort the blinds by newest, and hit Last Page.  1998 was the earliest post I found...

Or perhaps a look at the cursors.  One of the earliest ones was Gearbox, still cool today.  Especially when it brings back some of those Myst memories [e digicons]8|[/e]

Sorry if there's a thread on this already...I couldn't help myself.[e digicons]o_O[/e]

Ok...basically, I've spent an hour digging around Blender Artist Forums and can't figure out how to make a new post there.  Either I'm blocked or blind, but nonetheless, I've given up and I'm asking you guys.

I'm trying to put together a few pieces of a train together so they can move correctly in the animation.  I'm using Blender 2.6.

If there's an expert on Blender...please...for the love of God...send me a lifeline.  I'm pulling my hair out.
