hi horseman,

i guess nobody will rig that character for you, primarily because you didn't provide any model. If you want somebody to do both the modeling and rigging work, then I'm afraid you're asking too much (uh, that sounds horrible...). Don't take me bad, but since you are new to Anim8or, the first thing you need is to learn how to use it.

Try reading the manual and check the tutorials page, you'll soon find out that things are much easier than they look like. Hopefully we will soon see some of your work on the Works In Progress board ;)

Nice Model! could you post a 400x300 (I think that's default) textured render of it?
Perhaps people will be more happy to help if they can see what the finished character will look like.
Planning to do anything else from Silent hill? Loved that film!

Me too! I loved the Silent Hill Film, it was creepy. Nice model, I liked the sword as well, it has some nice detail. Perhaps you could smooth out your sword's handle a little? Other than that its fine.

i am seriously new to anim8or, i don;t even kow how to rig i tried read the manual but it's greek to me.  IN high school i used 3ds max , but now i'm saving up for it.  I am thinking about modeling most of the creatures but i will need a rigger as well.
It will take me awhile to leanr the interface and smoothing tools, i'm used to paint deformation and zbrush.

horseman ---
Others have already mentioned sites -- http://www.cgtextures.com/, http://www.3dxo.com/, http://www.mayang.com/textures/ --- where you can download various types of textures.  You can find dozens of other sites by typing "textures" into the search window of your browser.  Have you tried any of those?

You can also create your own textures, using free 2D software, like gimp (http://www.gimp.org/windows/).

Experiment!  It's fun!
