Animation Import - Character Tool

Overview

Animation import process consists of the following steps:

Load an existing character in the Explorer, by double clicking on it:

Locate your newly created animation in the "Animations" group in Explorer and select it. All un-imported animations appear with a dim icon:

If you struggle to locate the new animation you may use advanced filtering options to do this. Press Filter icon in the top-right corner of the Assets panel, and then set "Only New" checkbox.

If you still don't see your animations:

  • Make sure the folder they are in is in the animation list for this character (see the "Define animation list" section in Creating Character Definition - Character Tool).
  • The animations might have failed to compile. Look for RC errors in the log.

You may need to choose the Skeleton Alias in case Character Tool wasn't able to match the loaded character to the skeleton alias.

Click the Import button in the properties panel (or use context menu, Import):

If your skeleton is missing in the list, you may add it there through Compression / Skeleton List. See Creating Character Definition for details.
