MIX Files
A MIX file contains data from the Motion Mixer, including information on
trackgroups on page 7952 , tracks on page 7951 , clips on page 7855 , transitions
on page 7958 and balance information on page 7723 . Compare with a mixdown
on page 7849 , which contains the same data, but in a collapsed format; the data
is no longer separated into tracks and clips.
You can save a MIX file in the Motion Mixer by choosing Mix menu >
Save Mix File, or by clicking Save File on the Mixer rollout.
Mixdown
A mixdown is a collapsed version of data in the Motion Mixer. In general, a
mixdown contains the same data as the
raw mix on page 7848 , with one
difference. During the process of computing a mixdown, any transitions
involving planted feet are corrected to prevent the feet from sliding.
After a mixdown is computed, it is placed on its own track in the Mixer. You
can turn the mixdown on and off by clicking it. When the mixdown is turned
on, the biped performs the motions in the mixdown; when it is turned off,
the biped does the motions in the raw mix. See
Exporting Animation to the
Biped
on page 3663 .
MNM Files
An MNM file (Marker Name file) is a character studio file format that matches
custom names in a motion-capture
marker file on page 7841 with the preset
list of known, supported marker names that are recognized by bipeds. See
BVH Files on page 7737 and CSM Files on page 7749 for descriptions of how
thesse two motion-capture file formats work with MNM files.
Modal/Modeless
Modal is a command state or dialog that affects all operations. You must
change the mode or dismiss the dialog before doing any operations that don't
pertain to that mode.
