Biped User Interface
The Biped user interface is split up into “modes” of operation. You activate
these modes by selecting the appropriate button in the Biped rollout on the
Motion panel, which is visible when a biped is selected.
There are four modes available:
Figure mode is used to change the biped skeletal structure and to align
the biped to a mesh.
Footstep mode is used to create and edit footstep animation.
Motion Flow mode is used to create scripts that combine motion files
into longer animations.
Mixer mode is used to view, save, and load animation created with
the Motion Mixer.
As with other parts of 3ds Max, the rollouts change depending on the mode
the software is in. When no modes are active, the following rollouts are
displayed:
