Shared Motion Flow Dialog 1057
Inter face
Shared Motion Flows list—Lists shared motion
flows.
New—Creates a new shared motion flow.
Delete—Deletes the current shared motion flow.
The scripts of the bipeds sharing the deleted
motion flow w ill be deleted. Those bipeds wil l
have an empty motion flow graph and no scripts.
Load—Loads a shared motion flow (.smf)file.

sharing the motion flow.
Save—Saves a shared motion flow (.smf)file.
The file contains the shared motion flow graph as
well as the scripts for all bipeds sharing the motion
flow.
Use this facility to speed biped/crowd-simulation
setup.Createandrefinethecrowdsimulationwith
bipeds that don’t use Physique, save the shared
motion flow , load or create your final crowd
members that use Physique, and then load the
shared motion flow. For a procedure, see To apply
a shared motion flow to a different group of bipeds:
(page 2–1041).
Loa d .mf e—Displays a load file dialog. Load an
.mfe file into the shared motion flow.
Note: If you load a .mfe file, via the Motion Flow
rollout, into a biped using a shared motion flow,
you will get a warning and the biped will b e
removed from the shared motion flow. The biped
will get the newly loaded mot ion flow and all its
scripts. The shared mot ion flow will remain the
same.
Bipeds Sharing this Motion Flow list—Lists the
bipeds that share this motion flow.
Add—Displays a dialog where you can choose
bipeds to add to the motion flow list.
Add bipeds to the list of bipeds that share a motion
flow. When you add a biped, its current motion
flow graph and motion flow scripts will be deleted.
It will now have the shared motion flow graph. A
biped can only share one motion flow graph. You
must remove a biped from its shared motion flow
in order to add it to a different shared motion flow.
Remove—Removes the selected bipeds in the list
from the current shared motion flow.
These bipeds’ scripts will be deleted. They will
have an empty m otion flow graph.
Put Multiple B ipeds in Motion Flow—Put the
bipeds in the list into Motion Flow mode.
