of different sizes. If, for example, the character is jumping off a rock and you
want to retain the Z position of the character, you would turn this option off.
Leave this option off if Motion Flow motions must be blended that begin and
end at different heights, such as three clips that have the character mounting
a bicycle, riding the bicycle, and dismounting the bicycle.
Turning off this option can, however, cause a jump in the motion during
motion flow transitions. Turn this on for smooth transitions in Motion Flow
mode. If adaptation takes place, the height is set so that the lowest foot at
frame 0 starts at the Z=0 height. This lines up clips along the Z axis and creates
smooth transitions.
Create Transition From –> To Create a transition between two clips.
Click+drag from one clip to another in the Motion Flow Graph dialog. Click
on a single clip and then mouse up to create a loop transition. It is necessary
to have this capability in order to create random scripts. You can create
transitions which are not included in a script.
Create Transition To –> From Create a transition between two clips.
Click+drag to one clip from another in the Motion Flow Graph dialog. Click
on a single clip and then mouse up to create a loop transition. It is necessary
to have this capability in order to create random scripts. You can create
transitions which are not included in a script.
Create All Transitions Creates transitions between every clip, including
loop transitions. Select all the clips that require transitions, then click Create
All Transitions. The transitions are not optimized. Use Optimize Selected
Transitions to optimize the transitions. Optimized transitions take time to
compute but are high quality.
Delete Clip/Transition Deletes a clip or transition.
If a script is dependent on the clip, a dialog displays a warning; clicking OK
on the dialog deletes the clip and the script that is dependent on it.
If you delete the selected clips and transitions from a shared motion flow, it
will delete all the scripts from all the bipeds sharing that motion flow which
are dependent on those clips and transitions.
Select Clip/Transition Selects a motion clip or transition.
