Anyone know much about fig files?

Rick Stirling

Is it possible to export a partial fig file?

The my core biped has changed, and it looks like the easiest thing to do is save out the fig and apply it to my other characters – except they have different hands.


I don’t suppose any of you know of a way of saving out the hands, applying the new fig then reapplying the hands?

Eric Chadwick

Don't think so. But .fig is ascii, so maybe you could diff and splice?

Rick Stirling

I've had a look, but it looks like a random series of numbers. Someone has given me an idea of saving out a partial pose, so I'll try that.

Eric Chadwick

Let me know what you find, might come in handy.

You can copy the posture of the hands and fingers.
Load the FIG.
Change the number of fingers back to the original.
Paste the posture.

If your model is already skinned it's a little more work, but you'll have to bake the weighting and load it again.
