Action!

think i read the techref "Export Action As" chapter once too many cause i've gone all Linda Blair.

is this how it's done:

i've animated Eugene's legs&hips in an action.

now i want to work shoulders, head + one arm and keep them as a separate action.

> chor > shortcut to Eugene > add the lower body action

> animate away on the upper body

> delete lower body action ?

> save remaining chor action "export action as" ?

Sounds appropriate.

 

Easier... You could also do your upper body animation in a copy of the lower body action, then delete all the channels that made the lower body animation and rexave the copy.

not only is it easier, it's the cure for feeling less like a servant to a program

and more like a Creator. thanks for the boost!
