stop on hide
Stops the animation when the part is hidden.
stop other animations
Stops other animations when this animation is triggered.
animation type
Control the animation behavior.
| sequence | Sequences are keyframed animations that use the reference pose. Use Start Frame to specific the starting frame of the animation and Restart Frame to specify a frame to go to when the animation loops. |
| stance | Stances are keyframed animations that use the current position and angles of the bones. Use Start Frame to specific the starting frame of the animation and Restart Frame to specify a frame to go to when the animation loops. |
| posture | Postures are static animations that use the current position and angles of the bones. |
| gesture | Gestures are keyframed animations that use the current position and angles of the bones. They play once and then stop automatically. |
interpolation
The type of blending between keyframes.
| none | No blending at all, the animation will 'jump' from keyframe to keyframe. |
| linear | Straight linear movement between keyframes. |
| cosine | Smooth motion between keyframes, this option should have the best quality / compatibility balance for most animations. |
| cubic | Smooth motion between keyframes, theoretically the best-looking option but might cause issues with some animations. |
rate
The overall playback rate of the animation. Can be used to slow down / speed up the animation without editing keyframes.
bone power
The overall influence of the bone values of the animation. For example, setting this to 0.5 will move the bones half of the distance defined on the keyframe.
