Hard Surface Modeling
Something that trips up a lot of people (myself included, when I was starting out) getting pivot points and grouping set up properly on hard surface models so things actually rotate the way they should. If you've ever animated a turret, or door and had it spin from the wrong point entirely, this is usually a pivot/grouping issue rather than an animation one. Quick breakdown of how I set mine up so hinges and rotating parts move correctly, using a tank model as the example. This was done in Autodesk Maya, but the same principles apply in Blender, 3Ds Max or any other polygonal software.
