I'm still working on my "just for fun" engine, but I'm ready to get some animated characters in it. The problem is: I need the models and am no artist. Ideal would be fantasy models (male or female, humanoid). I can take them in any format that 3ds max can read. I'll be doing bone based animation, so if they're already mapped to 3ds max bones that would be awesome. if they aready have animation from character studio even better! Anyone have any free sources or willing to donate anything? I don't need anything super professional, just something to test my code and make my engine look nice. Thanks! Onnel

Try the free models from 3dCafe. Look under the Anatomy section.
