the Toy_T intermediate file using the Maya plug-in.</p> 42 <p class="new_hint">For details about export, see the Photoshop Plug-In Manual, which can be found in the following location: %NW4C_ROOT%/documents/DccPlugin</p> 43 <h4>Memory-resident version CreativeStudio (CreativeStudioDaemon)</h4> 44 <p>The memory-resident version of CreativeStudio is a version of creative studio that executes intermediate file optimization and merging by linking with the DCC tool exporter.</p> 45 <h5>Launching the memory-resident version of CreativeStudio</h5> 46 <p>Rather than the user directly launching the memory-resident version of CreativeStudio, it is automatically launched in the background when data is exported from a DCC tool (such as Maya).</p> 47 <p>Once the memory-resident version of CreativeStudio starts, an icon for CreativeStudio will appear in the Task tray and intermediate file optimization and merging at high speeds can be performed.</p> 48 <img src="assets/creativestudiodaemon.png" alt="Memory-resident version icon"/> 49 <p class="hint_warn">Caution:<br /> Separate initial settings are required to display the icon in a Windows 7 environment.</p> 50 <h5>Exiting the memory-resident version of CreativeStudio</h5> 51 <p>You can exit from the menu displayed when you right-click on the icon in the Task tray.</p> 52 <a name="NW4C_Export_Option" id="NW4C_Export_Option"></a> 53 <h4>NW4C Export Option Settings</h4> 54 <p>Note the following three points regarding settings used when exporting Toy_T sample data for which skeletal animation is set.</p> 55 <ol> 56 <li>Output Options 57 <p>Set <B>Export Target</B> to <B>All</B>.</p> 58 <p>This setting causes all active nodes in the scene to be output.</p> 59 </li> 60 <li>Output File Selection 61 <p>The following files will be check marked.</p> 62 <p><CODE>.cmdl</CODE></p> 63 <p><CODE>.ctex</CODE></p> 64 <p><CODE>.cskla</CODE></p> 65 </li> 66 <li>Animation Options 67 <p>Select the <B>Loop</B> checkbox.</p> 68 <p>The term "Loop" used here does not refer to the Loop setting made under CreativeStudio, but is the Loop checkbox selected when you want an animation to loop on the PARTNER-CTR Debugger.</p> 69 </li> 70 </ol> 71 <p class="hint_warn">Caution:<br /> If a model that uses skeletal animation is output as an intermediate file, always be sure to select <B>Skeletal Animation Data (.csklal)</B> under <B>Output File Selection</B>. <br /> If a checkbox for <B>Skeletal Animation Data (.cskal)</B> is not selected, the skeletal animation cannot be played using CreativeStudio.</p> 72 <p>The intermediate files listed below are created when Toy_T sample data is output from the 3D CG tool.</p> 73 <table> 74 <thead> 75 <tr> 76 <th>Filename</th> 77

CreativeStudio menu, select <B>File</B> → <B>Open</B> → <B>Intermediate file</B> to load <B>Toy_T.cmdl</B> and <B>Toy_T.cskla</B>.</p> 97 <p>When an intermediate file is opeed, bound texture data and other such information is automatically loaded.</p> 98 <p class="new_hint"><B>Note:</B> These intermediate files can also be loaded into CreativeStudio by dragging & dropping them.</p> 99 <h3>Playing loaded model animations</h3> 100 <p>If an animation is configured for a loaded model, you must set the playback range for the animation in the timeline located at the bottom of the main window.</p>
