character studio File Formats
character studio uses several proprietary file formats for various functions.
BIP Motion file. Includes biped motion and the size of the original biped so
motion can be accurately loaded to other bipeds. Can be loaded directly onto
a biped, or used to combine motions with Motion Flow or the Motion Mixer.
See
Loading and Saving BIP Animation on page 4300.
FIG Figure file. Contains the sizes and poses of each biped body part, and
overall biped size. Use this file to save and load a biped pose in Figure mode.
See
Saving and Loading FIG Files on page 4174.
CPY Copy file. Contains postures, poses and tracks you have copied with the
Copy/Paste rollout. See Copying and Pasting Postures and Poses on page 4281
and
Copying and Pasting Tracks on page 4311.
MFE Motion Flow Graph file. Contains the motion flow graph, and a motion
flow script if one was present for the biped upon saving. See Saving, Loading,
and Appending Motion Flow Graphs
on page 4521.
MIX Motion Mixer file. Contains clip data, tracks and trackgroups, transitions
between clips, track/clip weights, and scale, trim and time warp information
for edited clips. See
