Be prepared for a bit of a learning curve...

First, you'll need to use the Rigged Avatar. Look for the sticky thread on Max Sample Files to find a link. This is a special avatar that's rigged to use the built in feature of Max called "Biped." You'll probably want/need to do some reading about Biped and its features. One of the features is loading a BIP file - which is an animation. Once loaded, you can export an XAF like you would any avatar animation. If you're not sure how... there's another learning opportunity Smile

To make a dance or avatar you first need a licensed copy of 3ds Max. Once you have that you need a plugin that matches your version of Max. You need a copy of the rigged avatar and a way to animate the avatar in the dance pose (for example). You will also want to go through at least one basic max/imvu tutorial to become familiar with the export process and to test your plugin.
