I am trying to import an fbx model with bones and animation. However since I am new to animation and the MED manual is rather limited can anyone suggest a more in depth tutorial covering how to configure imported fbx models with their animations?

In my experience, FBX models do not need any configuration.
The MED imports perfectly, both the bones and animation.

all you have to do is name the frames...

walk0
walk1
walk2
walk3
run01
run02
run03
jump01
jump02
jump03

etc

as said above fbx do not usually require much work if you still need help reply back and we can advise further.

Thanks. After work I was able to spend a bit more time working with it and the animations seem to be working great. It was a matter of not knwing my way around the MED to know how to actually play back the animation.
