Loading the Saturn/Planet Mojo World

First download the MojoWorld (.mjw), the .OBJ/MTL and the JPEGs and put them all in the same folder.
Now start up Mojoworld and File>Opem the nearfar.mjw file. When it opens the rings appear to be missing. This is because it is parallel to the Orbit Path line as well as the camera. Unfortunately, you can't get at the rotation handles this far away. So a second camera is needed nearer to the moon.
This world already has a camera set up - from the camera selector at top right select the nearmoon camera.
Click on the arrow icon to change to Select Mode and click on the moon. Now click the rotation Transform tool.
The Transform handles appear and by clicking/draging on the Y axis (purple) handle the rings will come into view. You can do other rotations this same way. The Translation tool can also be used to move the moon around - this is much easier then trying to do it with the Orbit controls. Which also kill any Transforms done with this procedure. See caveats below!

Now go back and select the farmoon camera. Now the rings are visible.

Caveats!!! These Transform changes DO NOT get saved. Opening any editor but the Moon editor will also re-apply the "default" Transformations. So it's always a good idea to make these changes right before you render!
