Not that dumb - there's quite a learning curve.Dumb question but is it possible to swap the models (Characters) in a scene ? I just cant seem to understand how to do it. i can load .var characters from the main menu but after that no idea what to do
Easiest ways:
1. Edit Mode - Select Next Person Atom until you're at the one you want (checking clothes/hair to make sure it's the right one is probably easiest), then in the General tab you can give it a name, select Physical (plugins?)/Pose/Appearance, and Save. That saves it as an option you can use to overwrite other characters. For compatibility with other scenes if there's scripted stuff, just select Appearance when Loading (same thing again, but Select Existing in the top-right on the General tab).
OR
2. BrowserAssist addon, Preset Appearance, load it over the top of an existing character. But there aren't Apperances from every .vam - a lot are only inside their own Scene, so you'll need to make a preset from that.
