■ Scene Motion Blur on page 7919 lets you apply motion blur as a Video Post
on page 6571 effect.
■ Object Motion Blur on page 7867 applies motion blur to specified moving
objects in a scene. Object motion blur is best for making fast-moving
objects appear to move more smoothly.
Motion Capture
The process of digitizing the movements of a live “actor” or “talent.” This
requires a motion-capture device.
Motion Clip
A motion clip is a sequence of motion on a biped or other objects. A motion
clip can be a BIP file, or a portion of a 3ds Max animation used in a crowd
sequence.
BIP files used in
Motion Flow on page 7856 and the Motion Mixer on page
7856 are called motion clips. You can use these tools to combine several motion
clips and make a longer or different animation. A BIP motion clip can be
created by
saving animation on page 4222 you have made on the biped, or by
importing motion-capture data on page 4495 .
When you create a
crowd animation on page 4680 that uses motion synthesis
on page 7857 on non-biped objects, a motion clip is a portion of a 3ds Max
animation used by the synthesis. You specify that a range of frames in the
animation is to be used when the delegate meets certain criteria, such as
turning upward to exceed a certain pitch.
One animation sequence can contain all the motion clips necessary to animate
the crowd. For example, a bird animation might have three motion clips: flap,
glide, and land. You could specify that when the delegate is pitched upward,
the range of frames that animate the flap motion are used in the simulation.
Motion clips are used by the
Global Motion Clip Controller on page 7803 and
the
Master Motion Clip Controller on page 7841 .
