The examples made were using the models provided to demonstrate the possibilities of the models. I myself am not allowed to participate, but I will most likely make more animations for fun. Best of luck contestants!

Yes, IK and FK are allowed, I don't really mind. As long as the work is done by yourself.

Why are the models completely unrigged?

Give me a second, I'll check something.

Closed for a small time, I have to fix the models.

Models now fixed, they all need a demo animation to preserve the bone structure, easy as that. They should be alright now.

I think I'll join this if I have time, however a quick question: Can we edit the model just as much as to remove weapons (as your pally doesn't have any) or geosets from say, the demon hunter's alternate form?
EDIT:
Too bad I can't join, would be fun going against you.
I would have liked to see that too. Challenge ftw?

DesKaladA - Looking like a good start, just work on ironing out the timing and get it fluent.

Pyritie - Yeah, I think I will anyway.

Dark Hunter1357 - The animation isn't looking half bad at the moment, I will try to look into your problem when I find the time. For now just continue with the animation and don't worry about export.

donut3.5 - What do you mean, I removed the weapons from the models, unless you mean the geosets for the weapons. In that case you may remove them, it's just not something I'm sure of how to do.

For everyone, if you have a FINISHED animation for your submission and would like a gif for your submission post, I am willing to make it for you. Just post a request for one in this thread, but only for final submissions.

You can make as many dancing animations as you wish. Anything not dealing with dancing should not be included in the submission as it will not be accounted for when voting.

Ok i'm done whit tree dances, but i still cant export it :cry:
I tryed to use that tool, which converts IK to FK, but it still did't work, probably i'm doing samethink wrong...

I have attached the max file and 3 gifs.

This woud be my final, but i cant export it.....
