Logan: how do you play the animations in the orc MAX file?

I see that the orc has a biped skeleton but I cannot get any animations to play (im not a max expert so it may be something obvious). Could you tell me how to play them?

If I am reading your question properly, I have to bear some bad news. There are no source files for the original animations that ship with Torque, so unfortunately you cannot play or load any of these files in your 3D application like Max or Maya.

If the files were available you would be able to play and load them through the Biped controls on the Motion Command Panel and/or through the Motion Mixer.

With that said, I have been tossing around the idea of releasing (unfortunately for a cost) some low cost animation packs with source for animators to use. But I am not going to make any promises with regards to if or even when this could be done since its still in the "gee I really should collect this stuff together and think of selling it" stage.
