Creating and Saving a Unique Pose

By using the Collect Clip technique, you can easily create a custom one-frame pose for the character.

You can save the pose as a motion clip; However, if you want to save a pure pose file, refer to the How to save custom poses section.

  1. Apply a character to the scene. It will assume an initial idle pose.
  2. Produce motions by any means necessary and modified them with Edit Motion Layer keys.
  3. Playback and pause at the time frame where the character acts a pose you want to extract.
  4. Open timeline (Shortcut: F3) and open the Collect Clip track of the character.
  5. Single-click on the cell of the time frame on the Collect Clip track to easily make a one-frame selection.
  6. Right-click on the time frame and select Add Motion to Library, save it as a motion file (*.iMotion).
  7. Save the current project for further editing.
  8. Drag and drop the saved motion file onto another character at the first time frame. The character will have a new start pose.
