Procedures
To convert an airborne period to freeform mode:
1 Create a footstep animation with at least one airborne period, and activate
the footsteps. For the simplest method of creating a footstep pattern with
an airborne period, see
Creating Footsteps Automatically on page 4187.
2 Access Track View by choosing Graph Editors menu > Track View - Dope
Sheet from the 3ds Max menu.
3 Expand the footstep key display for the biped.
4 Right-click the footstep key display area. The Footstep Mode dialog
appears.
5 In the Footstep Mode dialog, choose the Edit Free Form (no physics)
option.
In each airborne period in Track View, a hollow yellow box appears.
6 In the Track View footstep key display, click inside the yellow box for
the airborne period for which you want to suspend gravity. This fills the
yellow box, indicating that vertical dynamics are suspended for that
period.
