Hi all-

I am using the export CHOP for the first time and I am following the help window directions. However, it does not seem to be working properly.

I imported a .chan file from maya and all of the channels showed up in the graph view. This was done with the file CHOP. Then I piped the export CHOP out of the file CHOP and in the export CHOP told it to use the the correct curve, told it to go to obj/cam1, then told it to go to the tx channel.

This is supposed to override the /obj/cam1/tx channel right? It is not doing this.

Which step have I missed?

Thanks Dave!

In the end I actually just ditched the export CHOP and used only a single file CHOP. In the cameras T(XYZ) and R(XYZ) I copied and pasted:

chop(“/ch/ch1/file/channel1”)

and changed the channel number accordingly. Same effect.

The advantage of using the export chop is that you can key it's effect to turn it on/off by using the second input.
The trick is finding just the right hammer for every screw

Simon-

I saw that feature, and I have no idea what to use for the second input. Any recommendations on an appropriate CHOP?
