character saving

Post by Datawraith »

I made some characters for an animation however I have to make my animation in individual parts. Is there a way to save my characters with bones and everything so I can import them when I need them? Remaking the characters with bones and everything every 10 second clip isn't exactly an option. lol

I meant is there a way to export them so that I can import them later. How to I do that? I made my own characters.

He is saying that when you saved the original file, then when u want to upload that cartoon just import anime object and search you computer for the file. If you have saved a project and want to use it it another file, click on file then click on import then click on anime studio object, then search your computer for the file where you saved it

you don't export it, you just create a new file and then import the character from the file where you have it setup.
you can import anything from one file to other.

If you export it you are making a movie of it and you animation options are limited there after, when you export an anime file you are actually done with it and ready for post production.
