Tutorial 5: Motion Flow Editing

Lesson 1: Creating Clips in Motion Flow Mode

Setup

Reset 3DS MAX. You must add a line to your biped.ini file so that .bip files can be found when you load in the example files. Biped.ini is in the \plugcfg directory under you main 3DS MAX directory. Use a text editor to add the following line to the biped.ini file.

MoFlowDir=<maxdir>\tutorials\tutorial_5

Replace <maxdir> with the drive letter and directory of your copy of 3DS MAX. For example if your copy of 3DS MAX is in your d:\3DSMAX directory the line would be:

MoFlowDir=d:\3DSMAX\tutorials\tutorial_5
