If you learn fast, it could take up to a year to fully understand how to do it. If you don't, well, college told me people learn how to use 3D programs in 3-4 years.

I have a tutorial for importing animation and how it you need to set it up. If you don't have animation experience, then your animations will still look... Meh.

To be honest, if you want your first CS to make it big, make sure you advertise, get your name known here (which it is) and make sure your story is really good. If your story is mediocre, it's almost not worth having new monsters.

I was the first person on these forums to fully model and animate a character with correct animation. It's not possible to really just "re-skin" a model on top of animated joints. You can re-skin on the t-pose joints (found in the .dae) but then you have to re-weight paint it, create all the animations, learn how to do all the above, etc. You're better off finding one that's already done (usually won't look good if it's free from some other website) or asking around the forum for help.
I didn't know that it would be harder than I thought to re-skin a monster. Yes, I don't have 3d modelling abilities, let alone animation skill.

I have tried looking for Free 3D Models for the past few days. Sometimes I find a model I don't need but it has animation, other times I find a free model that would be great but lacks animation.

When omeone here is not busy, then maybe one of them cna help me. Story ideas, for me, isn't hard. I can think up puzzles, depending on the area depends on the puzzles.

For my Dark Depths story, I have the area materials to make it, and story ideas for it, but lack deep sea critters/horrors for it. I wanted a realistic scenario for an Amnesia Custom Story, so the 'monsters' need to be possible for the unexplored deep sea (since it's unexplored, it gives me play room for any kind of deep sea monster).
