information is also displayed, like the name of the clip reference as it appears
in the Motion Mixer. Information about the biped structure is also listed along
with the bipeds to which the clip has been adapted.
Motion Preview
The Motion Preview at the lower right side of the Reservoir shows a thumbnail
of the selected clip. Moving the slider across the bottom gives you an idea of
what the motion looks like before you add it to a track.
NOTE In order for a clip to show in the Motion Preview, it must be a BIP file that
has been saved for this version of 3ds Max. If you choose a BIP file that is from an
older version of 3ds Max, you will see a warning that the file is obsolete and should
be resaved. Until the BIP file is resaved, it will not display in the Motion Preview.
NOTE The Motion Preview is available only when you choose the Biped Clips
option.
Mixer Preferences Dialog
Select a biped. > Motion panel > Biped Apps rollout > Mixer > Preferences
Graph Editors menu > Motion Mixer... > Preferences
The Motion Mixer Preferences dialog lets you make changes to display settings
for clips, transitions and frames. It is similar to the way you can Hide By
Category on the Display panel. You can also specify mixdown options from
this dialog.
The settings on the Motion Mixer Preference dialog are saved in the biped.ini
file, as well as with the MAX file.
