I want to use the xsi for animated model character the problem that i have is when i create the skeleton with their respective controls I’ve tried to set the “characterkeyset” to the controls and it works perfectly in the xsi but when I export only the bones and the model to fbx this haven’t any animation I make sure that export dialog is correctly

I select the bones and the model to export has selected only and hide the controls to d not export it

how make that the animations works over the bones apply the controls transforms to the bones? how do you do it?

i have time trying to think how do it but I haven’t any idea

I’m doing this in xsi 6.02 right now using the Biped auto-rigger with the skeletal shadow rig option. I simply create a group for all the bones in the shadow rig and hide it; create my animation using the biped rig; unhide the shadow rig in the group you made and hide the biped rig; shift-select all the bones of the shadow rig with the marquee tool with one click and drag; Plot all transformations to the selected shadow rig bones (don’t plot to bone effector nulls); Deactivate the constraints that bind the shadow rig to the Biped rig; Delete the Biped Rig and export the shadow rig to FBX but uncheck the “export xsi effectors” box. Hope that helps.

thanks works perfectly
