View Full Version : How To Go About Shot With Referencing 2 Characters?

I for some reason cannot figure out a simple way to go about this shot. I have two characters and a simple environment. Each is a separate maya file. Because the two characters are the same rig with just some geometry modifications, my animation shelf for the rig won't work when both are in the same scene. Therefore I have to reference one of them while I animate the other.

How do I go about the referencing? I open the 1st character, and then reference the 2nd, and once I'm done animating the 1st I open the 2nd character and then reference the finished 1st? When I'm done with one of the characters do I delete everything else from the scene and then use that to reference into the next character? What's the best way to do this?

Thanks.
