Well, I'm not very good at making animations so I thought someone might want to help me in creating an undead stygian shaman type monster. Basically able to revive undead stygian dolls or soul killers, etc and resemble skeletons like the little guys but stand like shamans. Can anyone give me a good tutorial on making the undead shamans themselves or anyone willing to actually do this for me since I'm not very good at animation making. Thanks.

I don't think I have any 3D packages at all. Any you recommend and is there a link to one? Thanks, I just didn't know where to get started...------------------ God gave me a brain to use but I miserably failed to use it to my advantage [This message has been edited by Apocalypse Demon (edited 21 November 2001).]

Well if you want a 3D Package and you dont want to fork out any money for it (well for 30 days at least) try Milkshape 3D. I reccomend it very much. http://www.milkshape3d.com Check it out, it's not too hard to figure out. I recently made a gothic sword type thing but unfortunately i suck at skinning  ------------------ Don't yell at me so much!! Pobodys Nerfect!

I reckon 3Ds Max, Lightwave and SoftImage are the best out there. They cost a mega load of cash though. I have 3D studio Max R3, and it rocks!!! I use it for all my graphics. Oh yes, paint shop pro 6 is also useful, for making gifs and other effects.I used to have Milkshape 3D, but before I got 3DS Max, Blender was my favorite. It may be tough to learn, but it's completely free and can do all the 3DS max can do, nearly. You can get it at http://www.blender.nl . This is just the first step into making monsters.  Next you have to make them in your 3D prog.
