Chapter 10. Motion Mixer and Motion Flow
Each animation (motion) you create can be saved as a separate file with the extension .BIP. These motion files can be mixed and matched on other bipeds.
The ability to load and save motions lets you switch among different rigs or skeletons and apply the same animations to all of them, or load the actions of one character onto another. Once you’ve loaded a BIP file onto a biped, you can adjust the animation with any of Character Studio’s tools. You can also append one motion to another, and combine motions to create completely new animated sequences.
Character Studio includes two powerful methods for combining motions: the Motion Mixer and the Motion Flow tools.
