You might want to include a small section on the basics of applying and using IK.A poor n00b will spend forever and a day keyframing everything otherwise.WIth IK you can make a walk sequence with as little as 4 keyframes.

Then again, its all included in the tutes/manual for gmax/3dmax.You can lead a horse to water.....

Doesn't have much weight though

The tutes for 3dmax 6.0 have more than enough to get anyone who is interested started in animation.Personally I found the 'tutorials for character animation professionals' to be extremely helpful when learning max.I did every tute that shipped with it(except for the slow rendering ones) before even attempting anything of my own.

The tutes for gmax are an easier palce for a novice to start, being less to go through.However it still povides all the information and isntructions to be able to bone and IK rig and skin and create simple animations.

The beuaty of doing the tutes that come with the program is that they show you how to use the program by introducing you to the workflows and available tools.

Do you personally feel there is a better(free) place to start for someone wanting to use these programs who has no idea with them? If so, what is it? Id like to know - might pick up a thing or two
