- Standard export of translations and rotations
- Window will remember last used selections
- Single Files = 1 file per selected object; Combined File = 1 file for all selected objects
- No column headers = first row is first data row; Column headers prints the object name with _tX,_tY,_tZ,_rX,_rY,_rZ for the relevant column
- No frame numbers = first column does not show frame number - frame spacing is maintained with NaN rows; Frame numbers = opens window to select all frames or type a subset of frames prior to export
- Current values = writes a single row of data; Animation = writes a row of data for all animated frames
- Note: the object of interest may not be the animated objects. Many types of relationships can affect an objects transforms including parenting relationships, connected attributes, constraints, and expressions. When exporting, Keyframes are taken from a single object based on what object transform keyframes are found in the following order.
- The object itself
- Its direct parent
- A node above the parent in the hierarchy
- A connections driving the object itself (Connected Attr, Constraint, Expression)
- A connections driving the direct parent of the object (Connected Attr, Constraint, Expression)
- A connections driving the A node above the parent in the hierarchy (Connected Attr, Constraint, Expression)
The advanced window permits a wider variety of export options. Selected objects are listed next to the first related object on which keyframes were found for that selected object (see order above)
- Select a Data Type from the option menu
- Choose Global or Local
- Change frame range if desired (automatically populated by first selected object, same frame range will be used for all selected)
- Choose Interpolate: Yes to interpolate values on unkeyed frames. No results in printing NaN for unkeyed data
- Choose header options
- Choose file output (combined = single file for all selected; Single = single file for each selected)
- Click Export
