I know it sounds sketchy but can people give me a retards explanation of what needs to be done once I have created a few model animations to be able to convert them into a format that can then be run and tested in a Java platform/app?

I am totally green to all this so please forgive me, I am having trouble searching for info on the subject as I am not toally sure what I am looking for.

Cheers.

What you need is an exporter to output the model and animation into a format that you can use. Maybe the microsoft .x format? I think an .x exporter is shipped with max, and you can use the directx mesh to load it in your app.
