#ts4 pose tutorial

for those who have all their poses in separate files like me because there’s no tutorials on it for some reason

DISCLAIMER: this does NOT go over how to make poses, work the rigplus, or navigate blender!!!

// before we proceed, prepare the following:

blend file containing your pose with a timeline window open (hereafter referred to as [BLEND A])

blend file containing the rigplus for the pose to be “pasted” into with an asset browser window open (hereafter referred to as [BLEND B])

// ok let’s get on with the actual tutorial now

in [BLEND A], insert a keyframe with BOTH rigs visible. make sure the normal rig is still selected! (for good measure, i like to clear my keyframes for both rigs to make sure i don’t have any duplicates or anything)

hide the normal rig and select the rigplus. then, in your timeline window, click “copy pose as asset”.

without closing [BLEND A], open [BLEND B]. in your asset browser, switch the library from “all” to “current file”. then on the header, click “asset > paste as new asset”.

hide the normal rig and select the rigplus (again). right click on your newly created pose asset, hit “apply pose”, and profit (don’t forget to keyframe again as you normally would!)

// troubleshooting

i can’t paste the pose as a new asset!

make sure you do NOT close the blend file you’re copying the pose from! leave it open until after you’ve added the pose to the asset library.

when i try to apply the pose, nothing happens!

this is probably because you didn’t have the right rig selected. after inserting a keyframe, make sure the normal rig is hidden and the rigplus is selected when you copy the pose!

// miscellaneous notes

this is the method i figured out when i was making my first all-in-one pose animation. copy-pasting poses as you would with the normal rig doesn't work with the rigplus, so i fiddled around a bit until i came up with this!

dm me or send an ask if you have any questions! i'm certainly no expert, but i'll do my best to help!
