MIX Files A MIX file contains data from the Motion Mixer, including information on trackgroups on page 8151, tracks on page 8150, clips on page 8051, transitions on page 8157 and balance information on page 7919. Compare with a mixdown on page 8045, which contains the same data, but in a collapsed format; the data is no longer separated into tracks and clips. You can save a MIX file in the Motion Mixer by choosing Mix menu > Save Mix File, or by clicking Save File on the Mixer rollout. Mixdown A mixdown is a collapsed version of data in the Motion Mixer. In general, a mixdown contains the same data as the raw mix on page 8044, with one difference. During the process of computing a mixdown, any transitions involving planted feet are corrected to prevent the feet from sliding. After a mixdown is computed, it is placed on its own track in the Mixer. You can turn the mixdown on and off by clicking it. When the mixdown is turned on, the biped performs the motions in the mixdown; when it is turned off, the biped does the motions in the raw mix. See Exporting Animation to the Biped on page 3741. MNM Files An MNM file (Marker Name file) is a character studio file format that matches custom names in a motion-capture marker file on page 8037 with the preset list of known, supported marker names that are recognized by bipeds. See BVH Files on page 7933 and CSM Files on page 7945 for descriptions of how thesse two motion-capture file formats work with MNM files. Modal/Modeless Modal is a command state or dialog that affects all operations. You must change the mode or dismiss the dialog before doing any operations that don't pertain to that mode.
