Skarn:
I want to say thanks again for these tutorials. It really explains quite everything to me about Blender. Keep up the good work and bump ;) Would be also great to see a tutorial on porting animations. I know that it is possible to animate models with Blender by using exisitng skeletons from WoW creatures/races.
Vesageough:
Thanks!
Yes, for animation, that's what I'm trying to figure out. :)
