You might try this book-long tutorial: http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/tg/det...nce&s=books (this is for Max 7) There is one for Max 6 also. It's not perfect and the author misses the opportunity to show you some things like model optimization for animation, but it's a basic walk through of modeling, rigging, and animating in 3DS Max aimed at the artist who is "far from proficient with it."

Once you get more advanced, but still want tutorials, check out Paul Steed's books on the subject: http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/tg/det...nce&s=books
