CPY Files CPY files contain postures, poses and tracks you have copied and saved on the Copy/Paste rollout on page 4389. You can load a CPY created with one biped to another biped. See Copying and Pasting Postures and Poses on page 4281 and Copying and Pasting Tracks on page 4311. Creation Parameters An object's creation parameters are settings, typically available on its Parameters rollout, that you make when you first add the object to the scene. You can later adjust these settings by accessing the object at the bottom of its modifier stack. For example, a Box primitive's creation parameters are its size and number of segments in each of the three dimensions. You can usually adjust an object's size without scaling it by changing its creation parameters. If you collapse on page 2016 an object, its creation parameters are lost, and can no longer be adjusted. Cross Section In Physique, envelopes on page 7963, bulges on page 7932, and tendons on page 8144 all have cross sections. Envelope cross sections can be moved and scaled to encompass more or less of the character's skeleton. In bulges, shaping the cross sections controls the amount of bulging and the appearance of the bulge. In tendons, cross sections provide connections between links and the mesh skin. Crowd The Crowd helper object on page 4819, available from Create panel > Helpers, serves as the command center for setting up and solving crowd simulations on page 4761. The Crowd helper object also lets you add behaviors to the scene, choose the current behavior from a list, and modify that behavior. 7944 | Glossary
