   importing 3D characters
  Hey I'm making a basically 2D game.  Right now it plays like SNES zelda and uses a lot of sprites.  I think I want to switch characters to 3D and have something like that old Final Fantasy 7 game where the towns were 2D and the characters were 3D.So I suppose I want to learn how to create a character in 3DSMAX or some knock-off and make a bunch a key states or whatever they're called and learn how to import it into a game.So where's the best place to read how to do that?   
  If you want to import 3DS-models you can try ASSIMP. It's a free asset importer library and provides the 3DS- and a lot more -fileformats.With best regards,Kimmi   ;  The download link is broke.
