Help getting started with ragdoll modelling in XSI

[AussieRoo]

I can't seem to get the search function to work, it just loads an empty page each time I do a search. I apologize for that if there is already a thread about this.

I've made multiple models in XSI, from characters to guns and props, so I don't need help with how to make models... I need more help with rigging the model I make to a HL2 character. My goal is to make a model that is a player model, ragdoll, or npc (replacing a citizen, combine or similar) that also has faceposing, fingerposing, eye posing, etc. It's mostly for machinima purposes. I've found one thread on how to make ragdolls but it was just a spongebob model. I need to know how to make a human ragdoll. I have Mod Tool 7.5 (used to use 4) on Windows 7 x64, and Vista x86 on my home PC.

So if there are any tutorials that can teach me how to do what I have described, let me know. I can't imagine there aren't, considering the vast number of custom ragdolls on garrysmod.org and elsewhere.

I could really use some pointers here. I can't seem to find anything on this specific topic.
