Assembling the boat, oars, and oarlocks
Well done! You've made the boat, an oar, and an oarlock. Now, it's time to assemble everything and animate them all. We'll open the boat and then add the oar and oarlock by appending them to the file. This section will introduce you to a new concept: parent and child objects. Imagine a mother and child holding hands. Both are independent, but the mother controls the child's actions. 3D objects can control each other in a similar way.
