The Motion Mixer is used to mix motion
clips t hat are assigned to bipeds and non-biped
objects. The concept of the Motion Mixer is based
on audio mixing done in the music and sound
industries. Like an audio mixer, Motion Mixer lets
you add a series of
tracks (page 3–1117)
for each
object in a scene. To each track you add
clips (page
3–1069)
in the form of BIP or XAF files. You can
also add
transitions (page 3–1121)
to smoothly
linkclipstogether.Clipsandtransitionscanbe
filtered (page 3–1033)
so their motion affects only
specified biped parts.
The entirety of t he clips, transitions and other clip
settings for a single object in the Motion Mixer is
called a
mix (page 3–1066)
