Alternate Turn on to alternate between right and left footsteps. When this
box is cleared, all of the footsteps will be either right or left, producing the
effect of a hopping run on one foot.
Number of Footsteps Determines the number of new footsteps to be created.
Parametric Stride Width Sets the stride width as a percentage of the pelvis
width.
A value of 1.0 produces a stride width equal to the pelvis width. A value of
3.0 produces a wide, waddling stride. Changes to this setting automatically
change the Actual Stride Width.
Parametric describes the parameter in terms of biped anatomy, and Actual
describes the value in 3ds Max units.
Stride Width=1 and Stride Width=3
Actual Stride Width Sets the stride width in modeling units. Changes to this
setting automatically change the Parametric Stride Width.
Timing
Auto Timing Sets timing parameters automatically.
Auto Timing affects the following timing parameters for the Run gait:
■ Run footstep, Airborne
When Auto Timing is selected, these parameters are automatically adjusted
to reasonable values. You control the footstep sequence by adjusting the
Stride Length and Time to Next Footstep parameters.
When Auto Timing is off, you can control the footstep sequence by
adjusting the gait timing parameters, but you can't change the Time to
Next Footstep parameter.
