Combining Motions with the Motion Mixer

In this lesson, you'll use the Motion Mixer with the two motion files you've
just created. The Motion Mixer lets you create a smooth transition between
Dr. X doing his deep knee bends and walking.

Set up for this lesson:

■ Open the file cs4_qs_drX03.max from the folder
\animation\character_animation\quick_start\.
This scene contains Dr. X ready for animation.

Open the Motion Mixer:

The Motion Mixer is like a sound mixer, except here you work with animation
files instead of audio files. You'll add motion clips, which are .bip files, to the
Motion Mixer, and create transitions between the clips to blend them smoothly
together.

1 Select any part of the biped.
