oh :o thank you very much!

If you have only one "diamond" on your character, you are in clip editor. You need to change into motion or graph editor. If that is not a case, then you probably clicked that small arrow on some parts of their body which made it unselectable.

such as?

I am not sure, that you will find here as much modellers as in Polycount.com. Try that site, I am sure, that you will have there bigger chances of succeeding.

I am not sure if this is exactly same model i've been using, but I think I just took textures, and replaced textures of normal citizens. Otherwise SFM would crash. I am not sure if anyone has better idea but this was good enough at least for one video.*cough* https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mB_fvesE--w shameless promotion *cough*

Chat is in this group mainpage on the right. Anyway I can help you with anything you want if it's gonna be possible of course. I am not professional by faaaar, but i know some basics which I can teach you or share some ideas. I havent been active much lately thanks to schools final year so dont expect anything big like collab for example until start of july ^^

oh and when you get to animating this is really good advice too http://www.11secondclub.com/helpful_hints/every_frame_is_a_drawing

If you are into reading, then Animators survival kit is really awesome book. It explains a lot of things like how animation really work and terms used by animator. It also has a lot of explanation on things like how to add weight to something or make it look cartoonish. Otherwise if you dont like books then i would recomend those guys that mr. above me recommended.

Do you have any experience with animating or you just want to start?
