This file is created with the Save command (see following). The file contains
the shared motion flow graph as well as the scripts for all bipeds sharing the
motion flow.
Save Saves a shared motion flow (SMF) file.
The file contains the shared motion flow graph as well as the scripts for all
bipeds sharing the motion flow.
Use this facility to speed biped/crowd-simulation setup. Create and refine the
crowd simulation with bipeds that don't use Physique, save the shared motion
flow, load or create your final crowd members that use Physique, and then
load the shared motion flow. For a procedure, see
To apply a shared motion
flow to a different group of bipeds:
on page 4541.
Load .mfe Displays a load file dialog. Load an MFE file into the shared motion
flow.
NOTE If you load aN MFE file, via the Motion Flow rollout, into a biped using a
shared motion flow, you will get a warning and the biped will be removed from
the shared motion flow. The biped will get the newly loaded motion flow and all
its scripts. The shared motion flow will remain the same.
Bipeds Sharing this Motion Flow list Lists the bipeds that share this motion
flow.
Add Displays a dialog where you can choose bipeds to add to the motion flow
list.
Add bipeds to the list of bipeds that share a motion flow. When you add a
biped, its current motion flow graph and motion flow scripts will be deleted.
It will now have the shared motion flow graph. A biped can only share one
motion flow graph. You must remove a biped from its shared motion flow in
order to add it to a different shared motion flow.
Remove Removes the selected bipeds in the list from the current shared motion
flow.
These bipeds' scripts will be deleted. They will have an empty motion flow
graph.
Put Multiple Bipeds in Motion Flow Put the bipeds in the list into
Motion Flow mode.
The crowd system needs Motion Flow mode to be turned on to perform
calculations for motion. This is a convenient way of turning on Motion Flow
mode for multiple bipeds.
