Chapter 19: Using the Motion Window and Controlling the Sequence Path

19

Forming an Angle in the

Sequence Path Using the

[Cusp] Check Box

1. Select the newly added Sequence Key Point and 

click on the [Cusp] check box located at the upper

left of the Motion window.

Click on the Cusp check box

Points with the [Cusp] check box on are sometimes

referred to as Corner-on Points. At Corner-on

Points, the Sequence Path will form a sharp angle,

and the Sequence Path between Corner-on Points

will be a straight line.

In the case of Corner-on Points, you can modify the

tangent handles independently.

2. Before going on, check that the new Sequence 

Key Point is still selected, and turn off the [Cusp]

check box.

Now lets take a look at the bottom of the Motion

window. This area is called the Motion List and

is used to check time positions of multiple Joints at

one time.

3. In the Motion List, drag the selected Sequence 

Key Point left and right.

In the Motion List, drag the Sequence Key Point

left and right

You can see that dragging a Point in the Motion List will

move the corresponding Point in the Sequence Path of

the Active Motion box in a horizontal direction.
