How to Enable My Nikon D3100 to Work As a Webcam?

I know there are tutorials on youtube, such as this:
But how can I make my Nikon camera to be enabled as a webcam? The reason I want it to work as a webcam, is because I'm using this to shoot Lego stop-motion and I'm not sure how you can do this. Is there a way on how to do this?

Added (1). @ Jim A - I see reading is a hard subject. You do realize the link I put up shows you how to make a DSLR work as a webcam right? HERP DERP. I just can't find a way to configure it on the D3100, and that was my problem. You're really retarded. You should try working on listening skills, because quite frankly, you're a shitty epitome for old people.

@ Masticina Akicta - The reason I say this is because I use Helium Frog to capture my frames. It has onion skinning which shows if you moved the figure way too much, and it has a playback function. If I take pictures normally on my dslr, I can't playback at 15 fps or 24, and I can't really tell if it looks smooth or choppy. I can play back the pictures, but not at the framerate I want it to be. As of right now, I think I'll just stick to my logitech webcam 9000.

Should I sell my DSLR?

I got the Canon T3i about a week ago and just found out they released the T4i. Should I sell my T3i and get the Canon T4i or the NIkon D3200 or D90? Or should I keep mine. I don't know what to do.

Can my Nikon d5100 work with this lens?

I want to buy the SP AF70-200mm F/2.8 Di lens but I'm not sure if it will 100% work.

1.) Will it auto focus?
2.) Will it have vibration reduction of some sort?

Here are some helpful links:

And this should be a good lens for low light sports photography, right?

How to take a Video on the Nikon d7000?

I recently purchased a used Nikon d7000, yes this is my first camera that is more on the professional side, and i would like to take a video for my friend and his band. They'll be playing in a down town pub, but the only problem is i have NO idea how to turn the camera on to video. I'm a beginner, so any video-taking information would help!
but it'd be great if i could actually figure out how to get it to record… Thanks!

also- how is sound quality? And if i wanted to upload this to Facebook, would it turn out good?

What lens would be the closest equivalent to a 50mm from a 35mm camera on my Nikon D90?

From what I understand, it would be a 35mm or 40mm lens correct? I know the sensor isn't a full format. I miss being able to "zoom in with my legs" and do more close up shots. The standard mini-telephoto that came with the camera when I got it doesn't allow me to do it as well. Part of the problem is that it is a wide-angle lens. I like taking close ups of things for texture (like starfish on a beach), so would a 50mm-equivalent lens be sufficient, or should I consider getting a macro-lens as well?

Also, is Nikkor or Sigma still considered some of the better brands for lenses? I haven't bought camera equipment in quite a while…

Added (1). I know that Nikkor is made by Nikon. I have a bunch of lenses with my old FE. That is what I used all throughout high school. I think I have the 18-105mm lens. It is what came with the camera. Would you suggest a different second lens because I have the 18-105?

Added (2). Nevermind my comment about the 18-105mm lens. I read that wrong. I thought you were saying I should buy that instead of the 35mm. I DO have the 18-105, so I'm looking for a second lens that will be good for some macro stuff and traditional photography.

Added (3). The things I like to shoot:
Landscapes
Portraits in landscapes
Still life sorts of things

I really like all my stuff in super sharp focus, so a large depth of field is a plus.

What other details could I include?
