Transition Optimization Dialog 909
The crowd system needs Motion Flow mode to
be turned on to perform calculations for motion.
This is a con v enient way of turning on Motion
Flow m ode for multiple bipeds.
Ta ke Multiple Bipeds out of Motion Flow—Take
the bipeds in the list out of Motion Flow mode.
Set Shared Moflow Leg Scale—Adapts the shared
motion flow to the scale of the biped currently
selected in the list. After this operation, the
selected biped will have the correct leg scale,
although other bipeds may not.
Reset Wrong Scales—Just Legs: Reset the leg scale
only of the bipeds that ha v e the wrong scale, so
that they adapt appropriately to the shared motion
flow.
Reset Wrong Scales—Enti re Figure: Resets the
entire figure structure of the bipeds that have the
wrongscale,tomatchthefigurestructureofthe
correctly scaled biped.
When you add the first biped to the shared motion
flow, the system adapts to the size of that biped.

Options in the Transition Optimization dialog
allow you to select the range over which the
optimize algorithm will search for the transition.
It can search either the whole clip, or it can search
near the existing transition. You must specify the
preferred length of the optimized transition. The
softwarewilltrytogetasclosetothatlengthas
possible, still opting to give you the best leng t h.
If it searches about the existing transition, you
must specify the number of frames about which it
w i ll search before and af ter the existing transition.
Optimized transitions compute for minimum
foot sliding over the range of the transition. This
method yields very hi gh quality results.
Interfa ce
Prefer r ed Transi tion Length—Specify the length of
the optimized transition.
Search Entire Clip—Searchtheentireclipforan
optimized transition star t f r ame.
Search Near Existing Transition—Create an
optimized transition near the existing transition.
You may search the range about the existing
transitions by setting
before and after frame values.
