Animation

Im new to the opengl coding language… have taken a basic course but can someone plz help me understand how to animate better… after loading a .obj file into a program and viewing it… say that its a character how is it possible for me to make the character move realistically in an animation. also how can i bind textures in order to give him a face and clothes and such? heh im probably saying something completely wrong but can someone help me out with attempting such a project?

Moving this to the beginners forum.

If you’re just starting out you really should direct your questions there.
