Both with Max and Maya I am constantly in search of "where is that checkbox or button I pushed last time when I did same thing before" or with Max specifically where is that extra script or why it doesn't work now. What's the hidden condition in some deep down rollout I forgot. Surprisingly I've never forgot anything in…
Try this: http://wiki.blender.org/index.php/BSoD/Introduction_to_Character_Animation It's a good intro to starting a character from scratch in blender.
