■ Center Of Mass The transition focus is based on the center of mass
position of the biped as it transitions from one clip to the next.
■ Left Foot The transition focus is based on the left foot position of the
biped as it transitions from one clip to the next.
■ Right Foot The transition focus is based on the right foot position of the
biped as it transitions from one clip to the next.
■ Both Feet The transition focus is based on an averaged foot position of
both of the biped's feet as it transitions from one clip to the next.
NOTE The best way to see the differences between the transition foci is by
watching the yellow and red ghosts.
Preserve Height When turned on, Preserve Height will allow gradual vertical
motion to accumulate from the source to the destination clip. For example,
climbing stairs will loop upward. If it is turned off, the next clip is always set
so that its lowest point is at z=0. This default insures that motion does not
gradually float up (or down) with each additional clip.
Angle Sets the direction of the destination clip.
The angle of the destination clip is automatically set for best body fit between
the two clips when the Start Frame values change. Use Angle to change the
direction of the destination clip.
Previous Transition Go to the previous transition in the transition track.
Displays the previous transition in the Transition Editor, moves the time slider
to the start frame of the previous transition and highlights the previous clip
in the transition track.
Next Transition Go to the next transition in the transition track.
Displays the next transition in the Transition Editor, moves the time slider to
the start frame of the next transition and highlights the next clip in the Scripts
list.
