Hi everyone, I hope you are well. I had a quick question about Maya's Time Editor, I was hoping someone maybe can help, or push me in the right direction.
When storing animation in Softimage's Animation Mixer we had the option of isolation which channel we wanted to store. However, in Maya's Time Editor I can't seem to save a particular channel marked in the Channel box as a clip, it will instead remove all of the animated parameters that belong to the object. i.e. if the position of a sphere was animated, how do I just pull the y channel and leave the other two channels x and z on the object? The same for rotations vs position vs scale, or even the size or colour of an object etc. The same for constraints - how do I separate a point cns properties vs a rotation cns? I want to be specific about which channels are stored. Does anyone know? I can't seem to find any reference to it in the help files or online. It just rips off everything - even the options in the Time Editor> File>Add Animation from Scene Selection don't facilitate this. I'm sure I'm missing something - maybe its connected to Character Sets? Or channels that are marked? Thanks again.
