I don't believe you need to convert it like that.

Well first off, to animate, you must know how to model.

Once you know how to model, you will understand how to animate faster.

Animations are: Movement of models. Therefore, if you don't know how to model, you won't know how to animate. If you don't know how to read, you won't know how to write.

After you learn how to model, you may want to get 3ds max. Now, you may want to actually buy the program, or get it another way. Once you have it, you will want to get used to using it. Once you have the hang of it, look on halomaps.org for animating tutorials.

^^If you want animate yourself^^

Now the rest I shall write in Java!

Code: Select all

if (animate.self() = null) {
log("Get someone else to do it!");
}
woot.

ok, thx B, you said i would want 3dsmax for this...i currently have Misfit model 3d installed, i'm assuming that since i "may want to get 3ds max", misfit model won't cut it?
