Developing character animation for games.


Look into rigging, Texturing, wheight painting and the AE Animation editor.


Play the Dexter Zye Character. Try Rigging and weight painting Tank Girl or Binky character models included with TS7.6 to a premade skeleton file.


Also import/export options like BVH, Collada format and Direct-X.


Check out Frog Model at trueSource Shop.


Visit my blog for an example of the JediFrog, (http://truebones.blogspot.com/)

But could you please like make an ordered list, it would be really helpful



These are the MAIN things


1. Interface


2. Modelling


3. Animation


In that order would be cool as well


Also those are just main, i know there are sub parts of those, like modelling has organic, polygonal etc.., animation has IK's Rigging Skeletal Skinning etc..



Thanks a bunkch Bony :P
