Find Enter a name to search for a particular object, then press Enter. 3ds Max
highlights matching entries in the list.
Filter Retargeted Nodes When on, the list shows only those mappings that
have been retargeted. When off, all mappings are listed. Default=off.
Mapped Node Shows the currently highlighted mapped node. If more than
one list entry is highlighted, shows “—Multiple—.”
Scale group
■ Absolute When chosen, scaling for the currently highlighted mappings
is absolute, and based on the XYZ settings in this group alone.
■ Multiply Derived Scale (The default.) When chosen, scaling for the
selected mappings is based on both the XYZ settings in this group, and
calculations from the Derive Scale Between Chains group and the FK
Retargeting Extent group (if that is used).
X/Y/Z You can use these fields to explicitly set the scaling factor for the
currently highlighted mappings.
Scale Origin group
Incoming Choose the incoming object from which to derive the scaling
origin. This is a drop-down list obtained from the list of incoming nodes.
Current Click to display a Select dialog and chose the current object from
which to derive the scaling origin. The dialog shows all currently selected
objects.
Typically, you set these two to be the incoming root node and current root
node, whose motion tracks are already mapped.
Derive Scale Between Chains group
Resulting Scale Factor Displays the scale factor derived from the Scale Origin
and Incoming/Current Chain settings. Check this value to see that it matches
the apparent difference in proportion between the objects or characters you
are retargeting.
Incoming Chain These controls set the incoming IK or FK chain to use in
calculating the Scale Factor.
■ Start Choose the start of the incoming chain. This is a drop-down list
obtained from the list of incoming nodes.
