Can someone animate this model in 3dsmax 5?

This piccolo model was intended to be put into a DBZ map for all DBZ funs out there. However animation of the models make everything impossible.
It took me more then weeks to remake this model from ESF-Halflife Conversion Mod...Everything is fine Except animating the model, If anyone can kindly show me how this model can be animated in 3dsmaax 5, i would really appericated it.
Thank You

I would not like to spoil the fun but, do you have the author's permission to modify his/her model? stealing art from someone is way uncool.
Check the documentation that came with the Warcraft 3 art tools, it is pretty useful, I've learned quite a bit from it and now I am about to animate my own model.

I didnt steal this model at all. I completed remade this model(from vertex, plygons, skeletons, attach skins balah blah) in Gmax , the original model couldnt be opened by 3dsmax, but yes as permission and ect. i will definitely take it seriously. But thanks for mentioning it tho.
ANyways, back to topics, if someone can make animation on the model in 3dsmax 5, please notify me .

Good to know you will take it seriously about asking for permission, makes trauma happy.
Seriously, take a few minutes to read the "simple tutorial" found on the warcraft 3 art tools, it is really helpful, that + the many tools, tutorials and tips you can find on this forum (whitout mentioning all the forum members that can help you with knowledge) I am sure you will be able to do it by yourself.

yeah, yeah, i know how to animate models, but this one maybe very different. I did animated it manytimes, when i export it, it doesnt move or animate at all.
I did check all the controllers types, as well as Keyframes and floatkeys error and blah blah, but the model still wouldnt move. I think the problems is with the model itself, when i make it, i think i used vertex editing...not sure tho...so thats why if u can try to anime it and mak eit work (if possible) in 3dsmax5, it would be very helpful to me. Thank you.

1. anime are those asian cartoons, so I changed the title
2. what does it say in this forum's big fat announcement? oh, my! I think it says "!!!!!DO NOT Post Artist Requests Here!!!!". Why do you people always miss that?

~Moved~

Also, animating takes a bitchload of time, so just requesting animations like this isnt as easy as you might hope.

Take it from a guy who knows about animation *cough* me *cough*
