Creation of Avatar BAMS, Any Ttutorials of how to do so? Options

[Gumbo Darksteel]

Hi there guys and gals. My in character name is Gumbo Darksteel. If you guys don't mind, may I ask help regarding a process of creating a full character from scratch. I created a cartoonish(Well sorta) avatar to whom I want to implement in the game with working animations and textures but really don't know where to start, or what to look out for with naming conventions and animations in general. The current programs I am using are 3d canvas Pro for animation and wings 3d for modeling and UV mapping. Do I need to make a whole set of diffrent animations for a avatar when wearing chainmail, plate, leather, and without armor? and the same for the different weapon types in the game? I apologize for the newish questions. I am a avid 3d modeler and animator and I would love to create animations for the game. Thank you in advance.

Gumbo.

Thank you for the replies guys. I really apprreciate it. Oh so putting the sprite file is very difficult. Dratz! I had this concept in mind of placing my cartoonish character named Justinain into the game. I was planning to make him with another cartoon based character of mine named Raphael. Well no worries. I am sure it's possible but I might need more time for it.

On another thought, It would be my pleasure to show you my character though he's still in clean up phase with the textures and modeling parts. I still need to rig the guy also. (I hate rigging )
Justinain is supposed to be a Blood Knight. It's an idea I had for a whilte now. He comes from a temple that worships Saturn but however he decided to break away from his spiritual vocation and adeventure out of his
Temple. His close friend Rapheal Masscio( A blood Monk or also known as Flamehand) both trek out inot the unknown world themselves. I was hoping to have them meet the PC in Naskhal but I am still working the story portion of it.

Here's the Character:

Justinian Renders
Just render
Just Renders 02
Just 03
Just_04

I want to thank you again for the replies. I will try that trial of 3ds max. Hopefully since I am a student I can buy it much cheaper from the full price. 3ds max always caught my eye atm never fully tried it out though. I sure will now.
