Hello, everyone..... I started getting 3D resources from the World Wide Web ,but one hardship faced me which is called: ANIMATION The models I download/buy are very well modeled, textured...etc. but doesn't have the required animation. So, I intended to make the animation myself ,but I found out that it is too difficult if I used the usual way in MED (e.g. adding bones, attaching them to vertices, manipulating bones...etc.) ,so what I am looking for is a tool that facilitates the animation making. For dumb example, a software with that idea: 1) I add bones with names (head, trunk, left forearm, left leg, ...etc.) and attach them to vertices 2) The software uses animation templates to manipulate and transform these bones (and consequently the vertices) for many scenes like: standing, walking, sitting on a chair.....etc. Also, I heard of something called BVH or motion capture If any of you guys know any further information about this issue ,please post it in this thread Thank you for reading & I'm sorry for taking much time to read this thread

Fragmotion is a great tool for it, I really like it, easy to learn for beginners, and there are some tutorials available (I bought one from Arteria3D when it costed only 1-2 USD, and I found it really great, but you can find free ones too). it works with those free (and not free) .BVH mocap files, you can tweak animations even by scripts (very useful and simple!). it costs around 50 USD, handles a couple of file formats (X, MS3D), but its MDL7 importer/exporter is not fine (I reported it on its forum beside some other bugs). using it beside Ultimate Unwrap 3D it is very cool (what is for model skinning, and has a lot of file converting plugins).
(or you can use the cheap and easy Milkshape, but it has limited features in animating. it also has a lot of file converters, but never tested with BVH.)
and of course, you can try Blender. it's free and great, but very complex and its interface is not easy...

I also need a .blend converter (from .blend into .obj, .fbx or whatever) 'cause I googled that and didn't get any good results You won't find one because the Blender format is not supposed to be an exchange format. Just download Blender, open it and export it. Blender has OBJ and FBX exporters.
