Where is "import" content stored, how do I add to

The ASPro File , Import command lets you quickly load in content. For example, Mouths let you select some pre-built mouths for lip syncing with a Papagayo generated .dat file.


Where does ASPro physically store these files?

What is the recommended workflow for storing content that is used in one or more projects?

It's in the Library folder of AS -- just follow the directory paths (using Explorer, for example) and you'll see where Mouths, etc. are stored.

You can put your own content there -- you can even include your own directories (but NOT sub-directories -- a bummer).

I've actually moved all the normal content and replaced it with my own and that's where I store all my characters for our show. So I have a "Standard Characters" folder, a "Inside Sets", a "Outdoor Sets", a "Guest Characters", etc. Within each folder is the file containing the character so I can just load them up quickly into a scene.

In the root (Library) I have my own mouths, eyebrows, hands, and bone rig to create a character quickly.

Note you must restart AS for it to see any changes in your library.
