I have a scene (the same with the 2 characters drving in a car) and I am ready to plot the scene to go over to Lightwave 3D. So what is the correct order to plot a scene?
Is it under “Key Controls” select “Plot All”. Then plot each individual character?
or
Plot each indivivdual character and then under “Key Controls” select “Plot All”?
or
Is there a better way.

Please help, I have been stuck on this since Thursday night!

fast way, select the two skeletons, do keyctrls, plot all selected and save your file to take back to lightwave.

vs. plot each character , one at a time or plotting all (baking animation you did on your ctrl rig also)

the only thing you need is baked data on the “skeleton” that came from your source software.
