Making my own product

Steven-V

I'm sure I've missed it but in poking around, I can't seem to find a simple explanation for how to do this, so I thought I would ask here.

I'm working on my own digital comic-book, and so rather than spending hours and hours on one single high-quality scene, I am doing tons and tons of mid-quality scenes (I get the poses, the camera angles, and the lighting to "good enough" and then render it -- or else the comic would take years to produce). As I go along, lots of poses and other items that I set up will get repeated re-use... or with poses often re-use with minor tweaking (such as reversing symmetry). This is particular true for things like conversations.

When I get poses I like, I can save them easily enough into "my library," and I can "categorize" them. But I was wondering if there is a way to make them a "product" like the ones you find here... maybe something called "Steve's Poses." I'm not talking about creating something I could package and sell to others. Just something that I can easily find myself -- all of MY stuff. I suppose I could just make a category, but I also want them to show up in the right function categories, such as "standing," "walking," "combat."

I noticed that there is an option to create a product when you right-click (in the same menu as "categorize", but I'm not sure if that will do what I want. Is that the right way to go?

Thanks in advance for the help.

In that case I would create a folder under Poses with your name on it and put all of YOUR poses into that folder. That's what I do with products (they go under Category/SickleYield/ProductName).

Getting them all into one folder is the easy part, setting them to list as Walking or Standing and so on is your work part. That is controlled by the metadata settings so you will need a minimal metadata file for each pose to set the type of each one for that to work.
