animation in all the Layers. Layers behave like a freeform animation on page
7988: the biped can adopt any position.
Layers allow you to easily adjust raw motion capture data containing keys at
every frame. Simply add a layer, and keyframe the biped. You can also use
layers to change the global position of the biped in a freeform or footsteps
animation by adding a layer and moving the center of mass.

Procedures
To increment all keys using layers (global offset):
1
On the Motion panel Layers rollout, click Create Layer to create a
new layer. Enter a name for the layer in the Layer name field.

Auto Key mode, or click Set key on the
Key Info rollout on page 4367 (this
can be done at any frame.)
3
Click Collapse to collapse the layer.
To increment an interval of keys with an envelope (blended offset):
1 Create a new named layer.
2 Create an offset by setting one key. You can use either Auto Key mode,
or click Set Key on the Key Info rollout at the frame where the increment
is to occur.
3
To create the envelope, use Snap Set Key to create keys before and
after the incremented range.
