Hi everybody....

I need a bit of help.... I wanted to find out what is the best way to learn how to animate in Maya? I am a traditional animator by trade and am moving into a 3D studio shortly however I'm not sure where to start in terms of transferring my animation skills over.... I've been looking for walk cycle tutorials however they only point me in the direction of rigging etc.... I'm using models which have already been rigged therefore I just need to know how to make them move!!

Is it just a matter of move.... keyframe.. move.. or is it a bit more technical (I'm sure it is but you catch my drift) :D

Some tutorials would be great....!!

Thanks in advance
