Although I, at this moment, know a little of animations, my Artist has already started demanding ridiculous things in the Editor tool! Damn demanding ponce. How's your C# skills btw? I've not touched it yet, but I assume the usual transition from C shouldn't take long?
C# is basically C++ in a sandbox, just like Java - they fucked about with a few things in the same way. Although they have added a new keyword "unsafe" if you want to go outside the sandbox and use say pointers for natively compiled stuff that will not run on the VM - I think the 360 uses the VM however, so you have no choice there. Take you a day. I've got a small C# manual somewhere as a RARed e-book I could email you if you want.
