3D 3D animation beginner

[kermsmit]

What would you recommend I do? I need to be able to create a 3d animated “soldier” that I can save as an animated .gif to place on top of a PowerPoint slide.
What programs should I be using? I've tried out Fuse CC and it was great but I can't use the file on PowerPoint. Any advice is greatly appreciated!

The character made in Fuse should be exported to Photoshop where you can process it further, making a series of stills into a gif.

I thought if I used the Mixamo animation it would work, but it didn't. I'm new to PS so I do not think I'm taking the correct steps.

I think I placed this in the wrong sub forum...

Here's a tutorial in how to create the character in Fuse, export it to PS, generate movement and save it as an animated gif. Mind you, there's a lot of work involved, no result in a few mouse clicks...

What version of PS do I need?

If you do not have one yet I recommand the latest one, CC2017.
