Merging animations - 3dsmax

almighty_gir

So, earlier i decided to try and merge an animation i had made using max's biped.

both bipeds from each scene were identical (in fact, i was merging to the referance scene).

it says it merged fine, but when i hit play, the biped floats forward, without any of the actual animated motion i created.

any suggestions?

It sounds like typical TCB controller issue. But maybe I don't understand your question. How did you merge the animation? If you are merging the animation onto an identical biped, why not just save your animation as a .bip and load it in that way?

If you are merging 2 animations together, then I'd use the motions mixer, and double up the start and end frames to get rid of any floating caused by the TCB controller.

yea, export bip files of the motion and then put it together with character studios motion capture thing.
