Add new poses
From The DarkMod Wiki
Start with a clean file
- Delete any poses/anim clips in the Window, General Editors, Visor, Character clips tab AND Character poses tab.
Import pose to the character set
- Open the visor and go to the Unused Poses tab (Not Unused Clips). Press RMB -> File -> Import
- Choose the pose file (combat_pose.ma or idle_pose.ma in the proguard/clips folder)
- Activate character set
- Open the trax editor. Window -> Animation Editors -> Trax Editor.
- Click the icon with a red stick figure and a + to activate the character track called citywatch_body.
- Go back to the visor and drag(MMB) the pose in the unused poses tab from the visor to the citywatch_body track in the trax editor.
Apply pose to animation
- The pose is now attached to the character set and you can delete the pose clip from the trax editor and in the "Unused poses" tab in the visor.
- Go to frame 0 and RMB -> Apply Pose on the pose file in the visor (Character Poses tab)
- If you have autokey turned on it will key the whole pose, otherwise select a controller and set a keyframe which will also set keys on all the controllers for the new pose.
- Remember to deactivate the characters set (see image above) if you want to start animating, otherwise you will keep putting keys on all controls regardless of which one is selected.
