saving animations

[seduar]

Hi,

 

I am new at this and I am really interested in learning how to animate 3D.

 

I have a little problem and I tought may be some of you can help.

 

Can someone tell me how to save my animations under actions?

 

I just made my first animation and i coul not save it to reuse it.

 

As far I understood once you have made your animations you sould be able to reuse them.

 

please help.

Right click in an Action window, or on the action name in the PWS, and then select SaveAs. This saves your action so that you can load it into other projects that require the same motion for the same rig.

Hi Seduar,

 

Before I attempt to answer your question, let's go through some of the terminology used in Animation:Master so that we're all on the same page.

 

There's no such thing as saving animations under actions. In your Project Workspace (PWS) you have 7 folders (Images, Sounds, Materials, Post Effects, Objects, Actions, and Choreographies). If you import or create anything in any of these folders you can save it any way you want.

 

So you've created an Action, the default place that A:M will save your files will be in the Hash Inc. folder in your Program Files that is on your C drive. But if you want to save it on your Desktop (for example), then you can Right-Click on your Action in the PWS and choose Save As (like Paul suggested), that way you can choose where you want the file to be saved at.

 

I am not assuming anything here, so if this seems too basic and does not answer your question, then please excuse me for not understanding you
