Hello Chel3, I'm no pro by any means but I just recently watched a tutorial video from Autodesk and the instructor talks about the general "workflow" of character building. Here's the link: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yWldS1Jzq0U&t=2m5s Although it is not a step-by-step tutorial, the instructor addresses some of the concerns you have throughout the video. Hope this helps. Hi Orv510, I appreciate the video link, it has some good stuff in it. However, it didn't have any of the info I was looking for in modeling a character, rigging it and animating. I find most tutorials show the first part, but leave you hanging cause they assume you know the next obvious step. It's only obvious after you've done it. lol Thanks
