Motion Files
character studio can load these types of motion files:
■
BIP files on page 7727
■ BVH files on page 7737
■ CSM files on page 7749
Motion Flow
In
Motion Flow mode on page 4426 , you combine BIP files on page 7727 to
create longer character animation. You also use motion flow along with
crowd
animation
on page 4680 to automatically generate crowd behavior.
One motion can transition into another. To generate a transition, character
studio uses either velocity-interpolated transitions (“minimum motion loss”),
or an algorithm to minimize sliding feet.
Motion Flow Editor
In
Motion Flow mode on page 4426 , the Motion Flow Editor allows you to
manually create a transition between two clips. You set the start frame and
transition duration for both clips, and the orientation of the destination clip.
Motion Flow Scripts
When using
motion flow on page 4426 , a script is a sequence of motion files
that are played to create a character’s motion. Scripts are created either
manually or automatically.
Motion Mixer
The Motion Mixer is a window where you can mix motion clips (BIP files) on
a biped. The clips are placed on various
tracks on page 7951 within the mixer.
