New animations for existing models.

[Sodabus]

I'm in the middle of doing some movie work in Faceposer. I've looked through the animations for my characters (the City 17 citizens), and I find that most of them don't fit in with my scene. So, I want to make my own.

Now, I know that I'll eventually have to mess with XSI (or another modeling program), but all of the tutorials that I've found deal with the person making a brand new model from scratch. Seeing that I have zero modeling experience, I'm pretty lost.

So, can someone give me an overview or point me in the general direction on how to make new animations for existing models?

Need to have the source file of the animation and all... So either make do with the ones that are provided, or make your own...
