Question How do you save a look from a scene? All options mentioned by others not showing

[swissh123]

When you download a look they dont appear on the looks section since they come with a scene for some reason.

Im trying to take a character (look) and save only that so that I can import it into any scene easily. I've seen other threads constantly mention the appearance tab, the control tab, and all kinds of things. But on non of these do I ever see a "save look" option. The only place I see it is when clicking on the character, select root, and in the Control & Physics 1 tab I see "save look". Trying to do this saves it under the folder "person" however and only saves it as a .json rather then the .var(?) needed to make them into actual looks that you can load whenever

Ok, you're confusing things a little, let me explain.
There are look presets and appearance presets; a look preset you already found in C&P 1, but it's a legacy preset, don't use it; a appearance preset is what you want to make (appearance tab).
Appearance and Look are synonyms and often they're used interchangeably, but when people say "save a look" they mean to make a appearance preset, not a look preset. Unfortunately this leads to some confusion, writing look is easier and faster than writing appearance.
The preset saved, doesn't matter which type of preset, is a vap file using JSON data. VARs are different things and they're made using the Package Manager. If you want to know more what a VAR is you can see my guide "anatomy of a VAR".

in essence then what I want is to have the character from a scene saved so that its able to be loaded in another scene, whats the correct way of doing this rather then using the legacy preset?

here we go, use button 4 to load your preset later on

I already answered that:

Do what yasparukko showed.

If you want to add a look from an animation to add to your "harem" of looks, just select the person atom then the "appearance preset tab", give the preset a name in the "preset name" box. If the "create new preset" button turns green, you have a new appearance. Click it to save the appearance. If it turns red, you will overwrite a previous appearance. Be careful about that.

That's all you need to do. Next time you want to use that appearance, just select the "appearance preset" tab again, and click the "select existing" box at the top. Your saved appearances will show up. If you want to use one that you downloaded, click the "all flattened" box or the " addon packages box" below.

By the way. If you download an appearance from the hub or create one from an animation, you can use morphs to modify it to suit your personal preferences. But if you use it in a scene that you upload to the hub, make sure you give credit to the creator.

Virtually, none of the women in my harem, heh heh, are as they were when I downloaded them.
