I searched these forums for a ridiculously long time last night about custom 3rd person animations.
I have found this minor tutorial concerning 1st person anims (Animation of the the Arms) by r1esG0, and he was a successful champ:

Denny-kun has the hookup on a custom 3rd person Maya animation rig:

BUT! I have found no one or no post who can or has animated the 3D Max bone structure provided by Epic to export custom animations. What baffles me is that the MSU competition is going on right now as we speak and I have found no reference to this issue whatsoever. It is probably so minor that I am completely overlooking it.
Also, does anyone have any information on a great read about animation-trees? I still want to code a motorcycle, but I need to know how to set the anim-tree up.
