Gear - Storing animated clips broken??

[Pierre Schiller]

Hi, I´m using Gear and I´ve animated a walk cycle, I want to plot it so I
can loop it for
200 frames. But when I use Animate>Tools>Plot>All Transformations, the clip
doesn´t get
stored on the animation folder inside the model I´m animating.

I don´t know what step I´m missing, this should be standard
plot->transforms, but I can´t make an animated clip.

Please help @Jeremie or anyone who has worked with Gear rig.
Thank you.

Regards.

RE: Softimage mailing 2016 year in review

[Ed Harriss]

It's very important to know how to model a cube. Porl taught me a lot. 
One of his finer tutorials on cube modeling:
http://www.reocities.com/hollywood/lot/2768/tutorial5.htm
I'd be lost without it.
