Thought I'd contribute to the commutiny and do a few tutes to help out. I've done the first which shows how to rig.bone a character so you can pose it.

It's on my site under the tutorials section.

It includes a basic lowish res character to practise on and a zscript which shows the process front to back.

Hope it's ok

John.
