Color-coded biped keys in Track View and on the track bar
Visualizing Pivot Trajectories and Keys
To view trajectories for Biped parts in the viewports, go to the Motion
panel and on the Biped rollout > Modes And Display sub-rollout, or on the
Key Info rollout, turn on Trajectories.
To make Biped pivots easier to interpret and manipulate, Pivot trajectories
and their keys are represented in the viewport during IK periods and display
in the color of the associated key type:
orange for planted keys
yellow for sliding keys
blue for body-space IK keys
TIP One way to create a body-space IK key is to set a regular IK planted or sliding
key, and then, at that frame, on the Key Info follout > IK section, choose Body. Or
you can convert an FK key that's already set to Body by increasing its IK Blend
value above 0.0.
During FK periods the node trajectory and its keys display in purple (the same
keys are gray on the track bar).
During FK/IK blend periods the trajectory of the resulting blend is displayed
and its color is determined by the amount of the blend; for example, a blend
of 0.5 to a sliding key results in a trajectory that is a 50:50 blend of yellow
and purple.
