2 On the Motion Capture rollout, click Convert From Buffer to display the
Motion Capture Conversion Parameters dialog.
3 Adjust parameters, then click OK.
To compare raw and filtered trajectories:
1 Select a biped and turn on Show Buffer Trajectory on the Motion Capture
rollout.
2 Click Trajectories on the Display rollout.
As you select various biped parts, two trajectories are displayed. The yellow
trajectory represents raw motion capture data in the motion capture
buffer; the purple trajectory represents the filtered data.
To use Show Buffer:
1 Create a biped.
2 Use Load Motion Capture File on the Motion Capture rollout to import
a motion-capture file.
3 Turn on Show Buffer on the Motion Capture rollout.
A red stick figure appears, representing the raw motion-capture data.
Play the animation; the animation of the biped representing filtered
motion-capture data and the red stick figure play back together.
TIP For a very accurate visual comparison between raw motion capture data
and filtered data, toggle Show/Hide Objects on the Display rollout to hide
the biped. Toggle Show/Hide Bones in the same rollout to display only biped
bones (the yellow stick figure), then play the animation with Show Buffer
turned on. The two stick figures move together, and any discrepancies are
easily spotted. To learn how to use Show Buffer with the Fit To Existing
parameter in Motion Capture Conversion Parameters rollout, see
To use Fit
To Existing to import a motion capture file
on page ?.
To import a motion-capture file:
1 Select a biped.

If necessary, click Load Marker Name File on the Motion Capture
rollout (see
MNM Files on page 8045).
