Hi,
This may be a dumb and very basic question but I can't find an answer to it online.
I have a character in iClone with an animation applied.  I want to change this character to another one that I'd like to inherit the animation.  Is there a simple way to do this?
Thank you!

Well I was able to copy/paste the animation track onto the other character and make it work that way.  Still I'm wondering if there isn't just some "replace character" feature?

of course that is possible, just drag and drop the other character on the character you want to replace (or select the character you want to replace and double click on the new character).
In case the two characters have very different sizes or shapes you risk having undesirable effects.
What amazes me is that you didn't try to do it.
It is always informative and interesting to experiment.
Save your project before doing the experiment and if it doesn't work you can go back or use UNDO to undo what doesn't suit you

Thank you Zeronimo!  Lol, no I didn't try drag and drop or double click.  What I did try was right click the characters in the scene list and in the timeline.  Drag and drop seems to be more of a tablet move, I'm afraid I have more of an old school approach lol.

I'm fairly old and drag and drop has been around from way before tablets...:w00t: A console and no mouse, now that is really old school...:P Done that too...:unsure:
