In addition to the standard Track View features, the workbench has tools to

help you select curves, analyze them for errors, and automatically fix those

errors based on various settings. This is especially useful when working with

motion-capture data, or other animation that has many keys.

Of course, you can also display and manipulate function curves for bipeds in

the standard 3ds Max Track View and expanded track bar, as well. However,

you have access to the automatic error-analysis tools only in the Workbench

NOTE On the time slider or in Track View, you can move one Biped key

past another. See

Moving Keys on page 4466.

The Animation Workbench displays rotation curves in local biped space for

both quaternion and euler rotations. This improves the speed of curve

manipulation since the whole biped doesn't need to be calculated in order to

draw a single curve.

NOTE This does not affect position curves, which are still evaluated in world space.

NOTE Curve display will only change for certain objects in COM space: base of

spine, neck, clavicles, upper arms, upper thighs, and feet.
