A simple tutorial for animating can be found here:

It doesn't really featuring character modelling but it gives you the general idea on how to animate wc3 models.

tis a max 5 tutorial, some1 tel me how to set keyframes in 3D STUDIO MAX 4.26 WITH INTEL SERVICE PACK....!!!!! lol :(

There's not that much diffrencein 4 and 5. It's more or less the same procedeur. If you still don't get it refer to the reference that comes with max. IT's the for a reason!

Well, its not in the documentation of 3ds max, and unlike max 5 (i was just reading the tutorial) on the bottom there is only key mode toggle and i hav no idea on how that worx, there is no set key or auto key like in the tutorial.
Cant some1 just plz tell me how to set keyframes simply, forget a tutorial!!!

Hmm I think maybe you just have to enable the timeline thingy on the bottom. Look for some menus. Like right click stuff. It IS there somewhere.

well i looked and there isn't, i wish i found it... but there is this key mode toggle button next to the animation but i tried it it doesnt do anything, this is the same with gmax... can some1 who is good modeler/animator wid gmax or 3ds max 4 tell me how to set keyframes plz, just say "well u hav to....."
thx ^_^

I am not good...but keyframes are made whenever u press the LARGE animate button and move any object inside the max window. i prolly didn't answer ur question..but i''m also tryign to find max 4 tutorials...not many pop up... :<
