Introduction

Character animation is a very interesting and complex subject. It needs indeed a lot of patience and rigour to produce convincing results.

This article is mainly for intermediate users of 3DSMAX but the beginners can also do it. It's supposed, during the article, that you know the bases of the software and  modelling methods with 3DSMAX. If it's not the case, I invite you to visit the projects already realized on this subject :

It's preferable to animate a character to possess an already modelled character. If you don't possess one you can get it on the following sites:
