The character must be in Milkshape-format. 3ds is only for the scene-geometry.

I don't understand your question - do you want to animate a model inside 3dsmax without using it in wintermute, a general question about animation? Click here (http://www.3dtotal.com/ffa/tutorials/max/joanofarc/joanmenu.asp) for a good tutorial without using character studio (bones and skin modifier). This tutorial exists in french (http://mr2k.3dvf.net/tutorials/max/tutorials_joan.htm), too (it'S the original one). If you want to use it in Wintermute, you need Milkshape i think.

yeah... i know about modeling and i have the character already...
And the aswer i solved a few minutes ago... It was about what´s the size of the geometry etc etc...
Now my problem it´s the character it´s to big for my prerender background and geometry... (I make the background bigger, and all of that, mybe it´s the camera??)

MArtin,

in the actor definition file (.act3d) there is a line such as "SCALE = 180". Change the value to match the scale of your geometry. If your character is too big, use a value less than 100 (the value is in percent).
