export svg
Has anybody seen anywhere a plugin for Motion so it can export vector animations (exactly like AE with bodymovin)?
as seen here https://aescripts.com/bodymovin/
thank you!

Not exactly on my wishlist... I would much rather have the capability to export vector paths to svg for font character creation for 3D text.
Check out this *free* open source software: http://dragonbones.com/en/download.html — you can create vector artwork and export to HTML with it.

Sorry, I misunderstood!
There is a way to save individual vectors: the Library > Favorites. Add a new folder to the collection. Any time you need a specific shape, it will always be immediately available inside the application. All your saved paths will be converted to .molo (Motion Library Object) files and will be saved to:
~/Library/Application Support/Motion/Library/Favorites/yourSaveFolder
(you can have as many different folders as you want).
A way to get externally drawn SVG vector paths into Motion is via a font. Take your SVG files to http://icomoon.io/app, upload your SVG to individual "character slots", have icomoon compile your set into a font and add the font to Font Book (you will have to restart Motion after adding a new font.) One of the benefits to a well defined font is that the "anchor points" (base point for each character) can be set up for precision alignments. [Here's a bit of an overview for using fonts for 3D design: https://fcpxtemplates.com/about-fonts-made-for-3d/].
Couple of examples of "font animation":
thank you. but the idea is to leverage my knowledge of Motion, reuse my existing assets and try not to go through another learning curve for vectore animations (animate and others).
