I've been able to see tons of models/meshes, but haven't figured out how to apply an animation from that folder to a model.

BTW, thanks for all the instruction and great work!

Ok. Looks like you got the meshes in. That's the CharacterBodyParts.GR2 file. I right-click on the "Mesh List" tab and select "Hide All Meshes" so I don't have that huge mass. Then left click the Mesh List tab which shows a list of all the meshes so I can select the ones I want. I usually scroll all the way to the bottom and just select the first torso, pants, and head from there.

Then left click Animation List tab. Then click the grey bar that appears under it, it'll bring up a file window. Navigate to the character\animations folder, select whichever ones you want - you can select more than one. They'll then show up under Animation List just like the meshes did under Mesh list. Left-click the animation and it'll start playing in the window. If you don't have any meshes selected, you won't be able to see anything.


Hope that helps
