Hi all,
 
 i  wanted to replace a character in an animation, while retaining the animation etc, normally select replace selected character keep attached props etc will work, but now it doesn't
i hope i am being a doofus and missing something, i really don't want to re-do an 800 frame animation, please tell me P8 has not lost this handy ability?

Depending on what is animated you can save animated poses sets for each character.  then reload to the replaced character.

good point :D i just tried exporting/importing the pose as a BVH, but that didn't work.

thanx

Replace Character really is only designed to work with figures that have the same rigging, but if you can contact support with the details, it is something that should be investigated to make sure there is not an issue.

I would just save the whole Animation as a Animated Pose and then apply it to the new figure (make sure you have use Universal Pose in your General Preferences selected before adding to the Library)
