help with the biped

[fsd]

I cannot figure out how to animate a 3d model with a biped. Can someone explain real quick or link me to a tutorial?
Thanks

go to autodesk demos on character studio for a demonstration of what can be done with character studio bipeds

here is a really brief description of the process of animating with biped:
1.create a mesh u want to animate
2.create a biped and align it to the mesh you want to animate
3.apply a physique modifier to the mesh and add the biped u just created in the physique modifier
4.adjust the various bone envelopes with the physique modifier
5.check the deformation of the mesh by some test animations of the bones
6.you are finally ready to start animating ur mesh using the biped bones
