Plugins » Skelly 2.0
Compatible with P3dO 1.9.5 and above
Purpose
Skelly is a P3dO plugin.
Skelly will generate a P3dO skeleton/Pose template from currently selected character.
Pose templates are used to generate skeleton for those file formats which don't have skeletons
but contain Pose information (like Poser Poses).
Usage
Here are step by step instructions on how to generate a Skeleton template and how to use it
in P3dO:
- Select a Character or Scene in P3dO's preview Window (let's call it a Scene)
The Scene must have hierachical information. - Once the character loaded, open Skelly: Files | Export to Skeleton Pose template menu.
- Skelly will show a list of figures belonging to the Scene, select the one you want a template for.
- The full path name for the template appears in the Export as field.
You may change the template name, but not the location. - Click Export. Your template is ready to use.
- In P3dO click on the Poses Templates icon (InDepth view), the template will show there.
- Click on the template. This will select it as your default template
It will stay so untill you select another Pose template. - Navigate to a Pose folder and click on various Poses. They all will have your template skeleton.
- If you are interested in severall figures in one scene you must call Skelly for each of one and give a separate template name for each of it.
- Pose templates have the CR2 extension although they are not valid CR2s. On the contrary a CR2 may be copied to the Poses templates folder and thus become a P3dO Pose template. It is not recommended to do so because CR2s stripped by Skelly will load in a flash while Poser CR2s will require more time.
