Hey Conan do you still need a refresh on mesh deformation rigging for animations?
I can help with rigging and animation tutorials if you want, and I can do a guide for using the older .dts exporter for playertype animations as well.
I won't be able to contribute much till late May or early June, but I'd love to help out at some point.
I've been meaning to make some tutorials for awhile, but I've always lacked the motivation to do it. A teaching project like this is just the thing I need to get myself going on stuff.
