Before you Begin
Introduction to Accessories
Previously, Accessories were considered the same as Props; wherein, it must be applied onto a parent bone inside the Composer to behave like an accessory. In contrast, the new Accessory format inside CTA 3.2 allows for quick application of accessories via double-clicking. For example: Double-clicking on a pair of glasses accessory will automatically apply it to the nose of the character.
| Comparison Table | Prop Format | Accessory Format |
|---|---|---|
| Extension Name | *.ctProp | *.ctAcc |
| Content Location | Content Manager > Prop | Content Manager > Actor > Accessory |
| Saves Positioning | NO: Needs to be dragged and dropped onto the character. |
YES: Double click to apply to a predetermined position on the body. |
| Method for Saving | Prop Tab > save as Prop: Positioning data will be cleared. |
Accessory Tab > save as Accessory: Positioning data will be recorded. |
