15 Feb 2008Hi! When I first started to learn some character animation I used/learned Biped to do any. There is great tutorial series in max Tutorial manual. They cover Bipeds quite good.
Character animation with bones is more difficult, more practice is need. Bone rigging stuff isn't of easy ones but it gives more control. That doesn't mean that Bipeds are uselles, no - properly used you can do very cool character animation even with them.
So I suggest to learn how to use Bipeds .
About compositing. For editing animation pieces I personally found Vegas Video 7 very handy, very handy.
AutoDesk Combustion is also a choice but I haven't ever tried to do any video clip editing there so can't say, but for sure - Combustion will do great for adding many extra effects to video, besides he has great particle effects generator.
Hope this helps
