Filtering Mixer Track s
Each track in the Motion Mixer is part of a
trackgroup (page 3–1118) . E ach t rackgroup can
be filtered so it uses motions f rom one set of b ody
parts and not another. For example, you might
want to use the arm motions from one motion file
w ith the legs from another. For this purpose, you
would need two separate trackgroups.
There are two steps involved in filtering with
trackgroups:
• Create additional trackgroups as needed in the
Mixer.
• Filter each t r ackgroup (set it to use s ome body
parts but not all), and name the trackgroup
appropriately. This is accomplished with the
Trackgroup Filter dialogs (biped and non-biped
objects).
