■ Join To Prev IK Key determines if the key should be part of the previous
key (and have the same reference position as the previous key).
Biped has three automatic ways to set these parameters. Setting planted, sliding,
or free keys creates keys with different combinations of these three parameters.
■ Setting a planted key creates a key with IK Blend set to 1.0, Object and
Join To Prev IK Key turned on.
■ Setting a sliding key creates a key with IK Blend set to 1.0, Object turned
on, and Join To Prev IK Key turned off.
■ Setting a free key creates a key with IK Blend set to 0, and Body turned on.
Join To Prev IK Key is turned off.
