Moving bones to make a statue

Post by jojo3450 »

So I moved some bones from the EP3 Clone and I gave it some different pose, yet when I exported it, I opened it with the viewer yet it still has the old pose with the arms open. How can I change it, so it keeps the new pose?

When you move a bone you have to re-key it or else it pops back to where the original keys were set.

No path, just press the K key on your keyboard to set a new key, you won't even have to move the timeline.

You should've said that in you first post. :)

Create your pose then select the geometry and press Freeze to break the link with the skeleton and this will preserve the pose on export.
You only need to export the geometry since you no longer need the skeleton.
