Thank you very much, this will save me many hours.
I just started using Blender this week and spent most of yesterday just failing to make a walking egg....

Very nice tutorial. Very nice player model!
Thanks, I am getting close to needing a player model and this will help immensely.

Oh, and I thought the Ski0 and Ski1 points were for skiing skis. Lol : )
Thanks for clearing that up for me.

Looks good. I like the website. I was wondering why when my player died he was still standing up. Next we need a standard bone template for blender that can work with ragdoll pack:) Thanks for your time.

That is great :) Would you consider submitting it to the tdn.garagegames.com?

This is good stuff. It should be on TDN, but the author isn't a licensee if you read the profile, therefore no access to TDN. I've been writing general Blender/DTS stuff on TDN, would be cool if others did a little more too because I know a lot of you are more experienced in Blender than I am. Maybe I'll post a link to this tutorial.

Edit
Added a link to the tut, with credit to Jan-Ove "Jove" Leksell, on this page:

tdn.garagegames.com/wiki/DTS/Blender/Creating_a_Simple_Character

It would be cool to have it submitted to the TDN as an internal resource though, as I see too many links in TDN.
