Yeah still not all that clear in relation to action sources.. http://download.autodesk.com/global/docs/softimage2014/en_us/files/actions_CreatingActionSourcePresets.htm
In regards to the action source .preset and action source .eani, doesn't seem to tell what the difference really is. Though it does say that the .preset is different than normal presets as it doesn't save just parameter settings but actually all the fcurve data... I know at Animal, they used .preset for the anim library. Never knew why and was surprised when I saw it. -------------------------------------------- Eric Thivierge http://www.ethivierge.com On Sun, Sep 21, 2014 at 4:10 PM, Matt Lind <[email protected]> wrote: > > A .eani file is a mixer source store as a file.
