3ds Max Animation with Biped

Comparing Motion Mixer and Motion Flow

The Motion Mixer allows you to separate and combine pieces of motion (animation) and mix them together as you like. Similar to a video editing program, the Mixer is a single, powerful tool for nonlinear editing of animation files.

Motion Flow comprises a set of tools for combining motions. With Motion Flow, you place BIP files on a graph and link them via transitions from one motion to another.

In 3ds Max 5 and prior versions, Motion Flow was the only method available for combining motions. The Motion Mixer was introduced as a quicker, easier method for straight motion sequencing with transitions. The Motion Mixer also contributes several new features, such as the ability to use different motions on various ...
