When the weight is set to 0.0, the Mixer will not adjust the spine and
pelvis motion to compensate for differences in the upper and lower body
motion. Values between 0.0 and 1.0 will adjust the balance to some
degree.
To fine-tune balance compensation on the pelvis and spine:
The values on the Balance Parameters dialog can be used to make subtle
adjustments to the biped's balance.
1 In the Motion Mixer, select the biped by clicking its name at the upper
left corner of its trackgroups.
2 From the Motion Mixer menu, choose Mix > Balance Parameters.
The Balance Parameters dialog appears.
3 To adjust the degree of horizontal balance compensation on the pelvis,
change the Lateral Ratio parameter. Lower values make more
forward/backward motion on the pelvis, while higher values use more
side-to-side motion to compensate.
4 To adjust the degree to which spine rotation from the lower body motion
is propagated on the upper body, change the Propagation parameter.
Higher values rotate the spine links to better follow the COM and pelvis
motion.
