Turotial files on Max Install DVD . . . are they there?

[ITryMyBest]

In the past there really wasn't a need for me to use the tutorials on the Max Installation Discs. However, the past few discs, as tutorials they have a series of Max files that show the progression of the file. This is in my mind, dumb. There is no real documentation showing what was done between the files. Max has way too many buttons and settings for me to run around and find what was changed; it may be one thing or it may be several.

 

I will admit I may be overlooking something, but I have searched the entire install DVD for any .pdf or .chm files . . . nothing dealing with what I need.

 

In case you are interested, I am trying to loop the runloop.bip found on the DVD. I have tried the motion mixer (not really sure what I'm doing), but I am not really familiar with character animation at all. My problem is looping the animation so the animation continues after the first cycle. Currently, I can get it to loop, but the position continues to jump back to its starting point. I have tried the out-of-range keys, but to no avail.

 

Help with either of these, the DVD tutorials or how to actually do what I'm trying to do would be much appreciated.

 

Thank you

I found the Tutorial files, they were actually under the Help menu (Help -> Tutorials). I was just so used to hitting F1 for Help that I haven't really used the pulldown in a very long time.
