A few newbie questions re: animation basics
1. i'm doing a basic skeleton, so i've got a hip, knee, and ankle joint. i created an IK handle from the hip to the ankle- how can i now rotate the knee (on the z and x axes i suppose) without it all collapsing?
2. my skin weights tool is really slow...is that just always how it is or could i be doing something wrong?
3. mmmm i forgot the last question so i'll have to come back another time.
sorry if they're stupid questions (yes, yes, i know there is no such thing), but what kind of newbie would i be if they weren't?

Instead- does anyone have any tips on exporting md3 files from Maya? (I'm now using maya 5.0)
I've baked the animation to the polymesh (or vertices, I suppose), triangulated the model, and....it won't export, and I'm not sure what else to do.
Eh?
