So, here's the thing...

I want to focus on animation in maya.
Right now I have limited knowledge in modeling, texturing and rigging.
So the question is, is there any way/place where its possible to download free rigged models (that works well) anywhere?
That is legal to use in a demo reel (and yes, if so, I intend to mention the original creator in the credits).

I would really like to have some animations done by GDC (Game Developers Conference) that is coming up in 3 weeks, so I won't have time to learn all those aspects (they don't interest me as much as animation either)...

Thanks!
