The File Menu

Import Animation

Use this command to import the animation from a .rumbaanim file.

Import the whole animation

To import the whole animation file which matches the content of your scene:

Make sure nothing is selected.
Use the Menu -> File -> Import Animation… command.

Custom target import

In case you want to import a subset of the animated channels or import the animation on different target objects than specified in the animation file:

Select the channels you want to import. To select a whole asset, select a single controller and press CTRL+A.
Use the Menu -> File -> Import Animation… command.

Export Animation To Maya

You can export an animation in a .rumbaanim file to import it back in Maya on the original rig.

The file contains a single animation curve per exported channel. If the channel is trivially animated in Rumba, using at most a single animation curve, the animation keyframes are preserved in the exported animation. If the channel is animated with a complex setup (multiple layers or constraints), the keyframes are baked at every frames.

Export the whole animation

Make sure nothing is selected.
Use the Menu -> File -> Export Animation To Maya… command.

Export part of the animation

Select the channels you want to export.
Use the Menu -> File -> Export Animation To Maya… command.

Warning

The Rumba deformation tools (like the sculpt or the sticky deformer) won’t be exported using that workflow.
