The topics in this section describe the support dialogs for Physique.
Topics in this section
Physique Initialization Dialog
Use the Physique Initialization dialog to specify link parameters and the type and size of envelopes to create for Physique links.
Reinitialize Physique
Use the Reinitialize command on the Physique rollout to reset a particular attribute of a character's skin behavior. Among common uses are resetting bulges, deleting tendons, reassigning vertex-link assignments, or repositioning the biped relative to the attached mesh. Essentially, you can reinitialize to reset any single item in the Initialization group, or all items.
Bulge Editor
Creating and editing cross sections allows you to "bulge" the mesh. The Bulge Editor is an alternative to using the Bulge sub-object level to create and edit bulge angles. The difference is that the Bulge Editor allows you to create, select, and edit cross sections in schematic Cross Section and Profile views. Using the Bulge sub-object level, creating and editing bulge angles takes place in the viewports. All of the parameter changes you make in the Bulge Editor are also reflected on the mesh in the viewports.
Physique Load Specification Dialog
This dialog appears after you have chosen a Physique (.phy) file to load. It lets you specify which information you want to obtain from the file.
Sub-Object Options Dialogs
The topics in this section describe support dialogs for Physique sub-object levels.
