Saving motions in MB

[LFGabel]

I believe it's as easy as plotting you animation to the skeleton, then you can just remove your mesh and control rig, and save out a new FBX.

Thanks very much Lee that works a treat.

Makes me hope there is a way in v5 to not make a key every frame and still copy animations over.

You can... just drive your new character with your keyframed one. You have ot characterize it, but other than that, it's just a matter of selecting what method to drive your new character.

I originally thought that you were looking ot produce "mocap" type files like the stock motions that come with MB. Those motions have keyframes on every frame, I believe.

For some reason i havnt been able to get that to work yet Tore my hair out for several hours thinking it should work but not really being sure how), i thought it was because there was some kind of incompatability in the way the native MB skeleton was constructed and my key framed import from lightwave. I will give it another go though to make editing less of a chore.

thanks again

Someone please correct me if I'm wrong, but if you want to drive a MB rigged character (one that has been characterized and control rig applied) with another key framed character, that other character has to be characterized and have a control rig applied...

I don't believe a control rig can drive a basic skeleton.
