Yep, you're in the right place--the button is just missing because you're running an older version of s3pe. You need to make sure to upgrade to the newest version.  |

ok so quick question.... I did everything that your tutorial says to do, got one pose working... kinda... and made another but it doesnt work. the horse just takes on the pose of the horse your start with in blender. THe first pose I made, my horse goes into the pose and then backs out and goes back into it.... Any suggestions....

I also need some help, I have managed to make it further than I thought I would but then the electricity in my house went out when a thunder storm suddenly decided to ruin my progress.
"8.) Go to File->Export->Sims 3 Animation, then double-click the "ah_YourName_PoseNameHere" file again to save the pose into that file you made."9.) Go back into s3pe, go to File->New, then Import->File; Import the ah_YourName_PoseNameHere clip--BUT BEFORE YOU HIT OKAY, make sure "Keep Resource Name" is checked, and change the group name from 0x00000000 to 0x48000000 . Hit okay.I did save my file "ah_EF_tekepose001" and exported it but I have no idea where it is, where it went or where to find it to complete step 9. The electricity went out right after this. Anyone know where to look for it?  |

@tori:
With the first problem--it sounds like when you finished the pose, you didn't properly LocRot all the joints. When you finish a pose and are about to Export, you need to make sure to hit "a" until all the joints are highlighted blue, then i->LocRot. Otherwise the joint positions will not save, and the pose will be saved with the pose in its original position.
With the second problem, I'm not entirely sure what you mean... I can say that the way that the Pose Player works, it plays the pose twice in order to prevent the pose 'freezing' like it used to when the PP was first released. If it takes a moment or two for the pose to settle, this is natural--but if the pose refuses to stick at all, I'm unsure what might be causing that.
@astra:
I'm not sure what the default export location is because it will vary from person to person, but I can tell you that the file you're looking for will have a file name similar to this: S3_6B20C4F3_00000000_A2328B718C424DAA_ah_Kaleeko_EquineFun01a%%+CLIP.animation
From what it appears, all clips begin with the prefix "S3_6B20C4F3_", so try running a search on that if you have a hard time finding it.

Unfortunately, I'm not 100% sure what you might be doing incorrectly, so go ahead and email me BOTH the .animation file you exported from Blender, and the .package you made from it. (Send to kaleeko@gmail.com) It'll be a bit easier for me to pin the issue if I can see what's going on. |

Yup thank you Edit: Also I wasn't choosing the right file. I was choosing the 18.KB (or whatever) instead of the 10 |

This is what I got Finally hahaha ears are tricky lol The ears are a bit weird--the joint for the actual entire ear is located sort of "inside" the head so to speak, below the forehead a couple of inches and exactly in the center. Both the left and right ear joint are right on top of each other (LeftEarArea and RightEarArea); just right-click the joint a couple of times until the right one comes up. |
