Hi...

Right now I'm trying to lear how to use skin and bones for character animation... and try to use skin as a modelling tool too...
What I need is some site where I could find tutorials... about it...
can anyone help...

Any particular application?
3D Studio? SoftImage? Animation Master?

should get you started in the right direction. Bones and Skinning can be tricky so don't get discourged.

Well... thank for answering..
I already visited the 3dcafe site...
maybe is not all I need... well actualy I only went to the free stuff...
And the software I use is 3D MAX, and Softimage, but It would be nice to have the answers for any software... cause maybe other people who use other software would like to know about it too...

Thank you.

There's a 3DS Max add-on called Character Studio. Check that out, sounds like it's what you're looking for. It's made by Discreet also.
