I am using the knight as my protagonist of my game and I now have him moving aropund using my controler on a matrix. I thinks the next step is to insert needed animations. So does the knight from the free christmas models come animated and if so how can i load them?Also I am looking for the best human animation program to make cut scenes in my game,but first i need to knoew how they are done. Thanks to anyone who came answer any of these questions.

Im not sure about any 'free christmas knight model', but to check if any model has animation use the TOTAL OBJECT FRAMES(Object Number) command. Then play it using play object(). To set which animation you play (walking, fighting, ect...) use append object(). You can find all these commands and more in the 'help' files. Just smack F1 in the IDE and look under the Basic3d commands.

As for modeling programs, I hear milkshape is the best freeware modeler out there. Give it a shot.

Thanks Zeal I know know that my model has animation frames in it but when I tried to use the append object command I came up with some error. So do you think that you could give me some code that would find the different animation names?You can just call the object Knight.X.Thanks

No can do. The models that I have seen do not have named animations. You tell DBP to play from frame A to frame B.
