where is the iiko model ?

[CaptainChris]

i agree it does seem a little too professional, since i recently started learning 3ds max it is complex for me, but ill do my best,

now has anyone figured out how to key frame this thing

At last! I did it!

1. Select one of the bones.
2. Click the 'Motion' Tab.
3. Expand the 'Layer Manager' rollout.
4. Click and hold the 'Add Layer' button (next to the 'X' button).
5. Point to the first option and release, a new 'Animation Layer' is added.
6. Click the 'Setup/Animation Mode Toggle' button.
7. Start creating keyframes for the spline helpers (like 'CTRL_Head').

With the biped you can't move the mouth or ears like with their rig, but to do it you can delete all of their rigs on it and right click to "Unhide All" and "Unfreeze All" and then delete everything but the Iiko model. Then the rest is just biped rigging. This tutorial is pretty helpful: http://www.ehow.com/way_5980405_3d-s...tutorials.html

When I do this the Rascal CATRig at the bottom doesn't make the iiko move with it. Any suggestions?

Also, the textures don't work with it, when I load the iiko it says something about "Missing External Files" then it gives the directories to the pictures but I see no way to solve it...

To fix the textures you need to open the material editor get the texture from the iiko rig... then remap to the textures provide by autodesk can be found at ikorig_maxproject\sceneassets\images\

Is it possible to use footstep mode with the CATRig? Or is it possible to convert the CATRig to a Biped?

So far I've only been able to animate with keyframes, but using footstep mode would save a lot of time.

Thank you so much! But how'd you figure that out? We didn't figure it out in time for the competition, so we ended up having a spaceship with no windows, and no aliens inside.
