Transition 1121
change transform values from fr ame to frame,
each object always has only one position, one
rotation, and one scale transform.
You can animate your tr ansforms by turning on
the Auto Key button and then performing the
transform at any frame other than f r ame 0. This
creates a key for that transform at the current
frame.
Transitio n
IntheMotionMixerandinMotionFlow,a
transition is a gradual change between two motion
clips. You can set the fr ames at which the transition
starts and ends in each clip.

Transitio n Track
A Motion Mixer track that allows you to stack clips
on top of one another, and to create automatic
transitions between them. Transitions on these
tracks are similar to those in a Motion Flow
network. Compare with a
Layer track (page
3–1055)
, which allows cuts only between clips. See
Adding Tracks to the Mixer (p age 2–583)

Translu cency
Glass on the right has a light green translucency.
A translucent material transmits light, but unlike
atransparentmaterial,italsoscattersthelightso
those objects behind the material cannot be seen
clearly.
Raytrace materials (page 2–1353)
can simulate
translucency. A Raytrace material’s Translucency
color component ignores surface normal
directions, giving the effect of light scattering.
You c an als o obtain translucency effects using the
Standard material’s (page 2–1309) Translucent
shader (page 2–1326)
.
Truecolo r
Describes hardware and software that can support
up to 16 million color values. Also known as
24-bit color, or 32-bit color when saved with
alpha
channel data (page 3–1001)
