The Motion Mixer is a window where you can mix motion clips (BIP files) on a biped. The clips are placed on various tracks within the mixer.
In the Motion Mixer, you can use trackgroups to affect different body parts with different clips. Each trackgroup can contain transition tracks and layer tracks, which hold the motion clips.
Each biped in the Motion Mixer is assigned a balance track, which automatically compensates for differences in balance between upper and lower body motion.
To make the motion in the Mixer affect the biped in the scene, you must turn on Mixer Mode in the Biped rollout.
