Project Window

The “Project” Window is the window to confirm and operate the configuration of the currently-working animation data group. This window has two tabs: “Category” categorizing data files as main and “Folder” as Save Folder as main. When the animation (.ssae) file and the cell map (.ssce) file are selected and operated on the tabs, the results are reflected mutually.

Category

The “Category” is the tab to confirm and operate the data configuration of the currently-working project .

It is shown by the layer structure, and the item marked with a triangle at front indicates that there is data inside. By clicking this triangle mark, the “Open State” and the “Close State” can be switched alternately (The open state: and the close state: ).

 

Animation	This is the folder of animation files (and animation data contained by those files) of the Project.
Cell Map	This is the folder of cell maps contained by the Project.
Reference Image	This is the folder of the reference image (texture image) used by the cell map which is contained in the Project.

Folder

This is the tab to confirm and operate the Save Folder Information of the file used by the Project. It is shown by the layer structure, and the item marked with a triangle at front indicates that there is data inside. By clicking this triangle mark, the “Open State” and the “Close State” can be switched alternately (The open state: and the close state: ).

Right Click Menu of the ssae file/ssce file/Reference image	This is an explanation of the menu, which appears upon right click after selecting the ssae file, ssce file and reference image.
Right Click Menu of Animation under the ssae file	This is an explanation of the menu, which appears upon right click after selecting the animation data existing in the ssae file.

 

Category Tab – Animation

This is an explanation of the “Animation” folder of the “Category” of the Project Window.

“Animation” Folder Operation

By selecting the part indicated as “Animation” and with right click , its exclusive-use menu will open.

 

New	This is for adding a new animation file (.ssae) to the Project. The dialog to specify the new animation filename will open, so specify the filename and click [Save]. Then, the new animation is added therein.

 

Operation of the Respective Animation Files (.ssae)

Each animation file is accompanied with the icon in front of its filename. To edit animation data, click the animation data name existing in each animation file. Plural animation data can be stored in the animation file (.ssae). In order to store plural data in the animation file, the parts’ inheritance settings and the number must be the same.

Also, when the inheritance settings’ change and the parts’ add/delete is implemented in a single data within the same animation file, other data within the same animation file will be affected.

Considering the aforementioned and if plural animation data with the same parts’ inheritance settings are created effectively, it is possible to contain all data in a single animation file. By selecting each animation file and with right click, its exclusive-use menu will open.

New	It adds new animation file (.ssae) to the Project. The dialog to specify animation filename will open, so specify the filename and click [Save]. Then, the new animation is added therein.
Duplicate	It duplicates animation file and the new animation file is added to the Project. The dialog to specify animation filename will open, so specify the filename and click [Save]. Then, the new animation is added to the Project.
Delete File	It deletes the selected animation file from the Project. When this operation is implemented , the specified animation file itself is deleted. So, a special care must be taken to such case as the animation file is commonly used with other Project(s).
Remove From Project	It removes the selected animation file from the Project. When this operation is implemented, the specified animation file itself is removed from the Project, but the file still remains in the folder where the Projected is stored.
Rename	It changes the name of the selected animation file. When this operation is implemented, the filename is changed. So, a special care must be taken to such case as the animation file is commonly used with other Project(s).
Show in Explorer	The folder containing the selected animation file is opened by the OS’s Window. Also, the file becomes at the selected state.

Operation for respective animation data

The respective animation data nested in respective animation files (.ssae) accompany the icon in front of their names. By selecting this item, the animation data to work with is specified and the data is shown in the Frame Control Window and the Preview Window.

By selecting respective animation data and with right click, the exclusive-use menu will open.

Add	It creates a new animation data in the same animation file. In case animation data is added, the animation data name becomes “anime 1” and the root parts names “root”. The animation data to be created will have the same inheritance relation as the animation data selected just after the creation
Duplicate	It creates an animation data, which duplicated the selected data, inside the same animation file.
Delete	It deletes the selected animation data from the animation file.
Rename	It changes the selected animation data’s name (root parts name.)
