3Ds MAX - How to use bones from scratch

[RichardBarker]

Hi I have just started my HND in 3D Computer Animation. I have created a 50 poly box model "biped" however I am having problems putting bones on the character. I have been trolling the net looking for help but struggling to find any decent advice. Could someone help point me in the direction of a video/tutorial that could help me out!

 

Any advice is appreciated!
