Quote: "is there a tutorial-or at least a lesson lol- on how to rig a character and set up an FPE? I have the model and the FPX files but now I have zero idea what to do"
I use Fuse (the original from Mixamo, not the new version from Adobe, it just works better for me (new version just stops working for me, won't even launch. It also has fewer options so far; if it works on your machine, go for it!). I don't know if it's still available on Steam though, I doubt it.) Anyway, it is, like Earthling45 said, just an upload and rig and then download as FBX. Rafhalzer has a wonderful tool that pretty much automates the rest. It will automatically add Game Guru animations and if you wish to add custom animations you can (You will need to write your own scripts to make the most of custom animations though). I can literally create a character in Fuse in around an hour (depending on how much I change my mind on each feature), upload it, rig it on Adobe's site, and download it as .FBX, import it into "FBX2GG", export, and have a character ready in less than another 30 minutes. FBX2GG costs around $40, though, but considering the time involved rigging and animating from scratch, it is a steal! Here's a link to the thread that I believe has a place where you can buy it:

EDIT and DISCLAIMER: I am not in any way, shape, or form a paid spokesperson for FBX2GG. I am merely sharing my enthusiasm for an application that has made my life so much more fulfilled, lol.
