I have a complex scene I'm building where, to save on resources, the character loads into different appearances.

This is mostly for experimentation and a bit of practice with a few plugins.

What is best practice when it comes to saving presets and looks as part of the package to share later? As I've made these personally, they won't be available on the store, or do I need to upload those too as a dependency?

Hope that makes sense.
 
The package builder allows you to include appearance presets. When you open the "Add files" dialog, check the Keep Open box. Then after you add your scene and its thumbnail, you can navigate to Custom/Atom/Person/Appearance and add the .vap and the jpg that goes with it. You can also add pose presets, clothing presets, etc. Any of the modern presets can be included by package builder.

if you select a file in package builder with a .jpg link to it, VAM will automatically add the .jpg (save your time). When you press prep package, you will see all missing files need, and it gave a option to add it automatic.

Thank you! Will be sure to check through once I'm finished.

I'm pulling a few poses, anims, and looks together for one scene, will these all be listed then? Thanks!
