Hi, basically I have a biped model within 3ds max with multiple animations and want to import this into xith3d and have it change animation depending on key presses.
Basically I have exported this as collada and loaded in into xith3d, and have the static model working fine but was wondering how to trigger the animation, Thanks

Collada doesn't currently support animations in Xith3D. Please use a different model format until we fix that.

I think I read somewhere that MD5 makes a good substitute for Collada at the moment in regards to animated objects.  I believe this link has something for 3DS Max.

Also, I think Blender can convert items very well if you ever develop with that.  (It has decent "sculpting" for details.)  Whatever you choose, I first recommend processing animations into files individually above the idea of integrating a "bone chain" for a character into your software.
