Noesis Interactive's "Custom Props and Animation with 3ds Max" has been released on design3 (and this one has 109 chapter videos in it!)
You’ll begin by learning the custom props workflow in Source® and basics of 3D animation in Autodesk’s® 3D Studio Max® 8. Then, develop, export and compile your creations and learn to manipulate them within the powerful Hammer™ level editor. Before you know it you’ll be creating dynamic objects that can be walked on, picked up, broken apart and brought to life within Source powered games.
