I know there might already be a topic for creating strike animations here & I've read the whole topic and the attachments are all corrupt, so I was wondering if anyone or manu could "teach" or tell me some of the basics of using the 3DS Max 8 program, I mean I only thought of doing this a while ago and so I want to make a new serve and 2 volley animations and i got the program with absolutely no idea how to use it. would I require anymore programs to help me with any of this?
And before I even try any of this, would it be possible to make a swinging volley strike animation (one that Sharapova uses)? And have the character hit the ball like at the level of a low smash?
