How to make a character (Person) in Unity 3?

Hey, I'm making a small game to learn how everything works.

Basically though, I can't really find anything on how to make a character?

I have the Unity 3, and it comes with the construction worker, and it doesn't say how to configure everything to work.

I use 3ds Max (I would like to use this, I can get Maya through the school too, but I perfer 3ds Max).

Any tutorials, documentation, anything?

I went through what is available, and it helped a little, but a written tutorial would be perfect.

Thanks all, Justin W.

The characters will be created actually in 3ds Max, so you're going to want to look for tutorials on that more so than in Unity. Once you've created and animated them, you should be able to import them into Unity.

I haven't messed with 3ds Max much myself, but I think they have stuff up on 3dbuzz.com

Also check Autodesk's website, they have a ton of info on that for getting started.
