I'm assuming you're talking about exporting a creature. In C3/DS, the export option is in the Creature Selection Menu on the upper right on the screen. Make sure the creature you want to export is selected, then open the Creature Selection Menu and click the minus sign icon.

After that, it's a matter of finding your "My Creatures" folder. C3 standalone has the My Creatures folder available from your main menu (assuming Windows), but you'll have to navigate to the folder where DS is installed to get to DS's My Creatures folder.

I'm using the standalone DS install paired with Creatures Trilogy C3, so the exact path to my DS Creatures folder is "D :\Docking Station\My Creatures." If you're using Exodus, I imagine the path begins with "GOG" or "Gameware Development" before you reach the main DS folder. Or maybe you can just find the .creature files in your My Documents folder. Never used Exodus, so I don't know for sure.

Either way, you'll find the .creature files in that folder; the filename starts with whatever the creature was named before also listing the moniker. If the creature didn't have a name it'll just be the moniker, which can be a little confusing; for that reason I suggest naming the creature before you export it.

From there you can take the file, drop it in a .zip, and upload it if you wish. Just make sure to take a good picture of the creature before you upload it.

I have two sets of folders for my installation and all of my exported creatures are in the Documents\Creatures\Docking Station\My Creatures\ folder. Obviously, if you're using C3, it won't be in the Docking Station folder. :D Hope that helps!
