    This program is the footstep generator which allows you to assign a spline as a path for the footstep so that the BIPED follows the path.

  •  Pick Path: Click and then select the spline in the scene that you want the footsteps to follow.
  •  Segments: Set these to specify the number of divisions along the path. (half of number of footsteps)
  •  Reverse: When this checkbox is on, the direction of the spline is reversed.
  •  Follow: Turn on to align the footsteps to the path as it follows the contour.
  •  Axis Flip: Only available when Follow is Selected. The Flip check box lets you flip the direction of the footsteps on the path 180 degrees.
  •  Constant Velocity: Turn on to provide a constant velocity along the path. When this is turned off, the velocity of the footsteps along the path varies depending on the distance between the vertices on the path.
  •  Walk: Sets the biped gait to walk.
  •  Run: Sets the biped gait to run.
  •  Jump: Sets the biped gait to jump.
  •  Stride Width: Sets the stride width in modeling units.
  •  Walk Footstep (Walk only): Specifies the number of frames a new footstep will be on the ground during a walk.
  •  Double Support (Walk only): Specifies the number of frames when both feet will be on the ground at the same time during a walk.
  •  Run Footstep (Run only): Specifies the number of frames a new footstep will be on the ground during a run.
  •  Airborne (Run and jump only): Specifies the number of frames when the body will be in the air during a run or a jump.
  •  2 Feet Down (Jump only): Specifies the number of frames when two sequential footsteps, on opposite sides, will be on the ground during a jump.
  •  Left, Rigth: Select the left or right side for first footstep.
  • Save Footstep: Make the BIPED footstep file using previous options.
