hi, if there is ANYone who could PLEASE tell me how to go about animating similar characters in 3ds max, i would REALLY appriciate it.

i know the basic stuff, what i dont' get is:

if my character is somewhat fat, how do i control the stomac the way i want to

also, if after a jump, the tail is suppose to bounce or move before dropping back on the ground, do i animate EVERY little movement, or is there a way (like an engine) gravity?? etc. that is able to produce desired movements, without me having to tweek every single frame or so

tnx alot

First of all, if you want to be able to animate someone's stomach, you should attach some bones to the stomach so that you can independantly animate it. Bones pro should do it.

Second, don't be lazy. ANIMATE the damn tail!!! That's the best way.
