Yes, I am a noob. I got DBP. Now I'm wondering what you need to make the 3D animations. Can you make it IN DBP? Or do I have to buy a whole other program? I am talking about the animations for actions. And everything else.

Animations are generally embedded in the model. You have a number of actions (Run, Walk, Idle, Die) and you animate the frames required at any given time.

You can animate limbs programatically, although it's a much harder approach.

Enhanced Animations (Plugin) also allows better integration of embedded model animations with programatically belnding and combining them.

Good response.

Some actual factual help would be:

Lookup the following programs:
- blender
- 3d character studio
- Character shop
- 3d studio max

This should start you on a trail.. find which app you like the most, pay for it, use it, make excellent games, die feeling happy that you made an impact on someone elses life

which Batvink answered.

Yes, you can use DBP to animate, but it would be much more difficult IMO to make it happen. I enjoy animating with Milkshape and would suggest you check it out. The last I checked it was only $25 US and is well worth the money.

Best,

Thx, this really helped a lot. Sorry that I was unclear, I meant, just as BatVink said, model animations (run, die, idle, ect.)
