Optical Markers
Reflective markers used by certain motion-capture equipment. In a
motion-capture session, markers are reflective objects placed on the “actor”
or “talent.” The markers enable motion-capture hardware to record the position
of various parts of the talent's body while performing motions.
Orientation Behavior
In
crowd animation on page 4680 , the Orientation behavior lets you control
whether and how delegates rotate, independent of their direction of motion.
Normally, a delegate always faces in the direction it's moving. You can use
the Orientation behavior to specify limits to the delegate's rotational activity
without affecting its path, which is generated by other behaviors. Use these
settings, for example, to keep delegates facing in one direction while moving
in another.
NOTE These settings do not affect the path a delegate takes, which is produced
by other behaviors such as Seek and Avoid. Orientation influences only the direction
the delegate faces as it traverses the path.
