    Description
     
    This program generates normal and spiral stair. You can use various options which are available to make proper stairs. If you need just a stair and haven't much time, this is very useful to you.

    4. NormalStair, SpiralStair
     
    1) NormalStair
     
     
     
     
     

  •  Width, Length, Height : Set these to specify the width, length and height of the stair object.
  •  Step Count : Sets the number of step.
  •  Handrail Thick : Sets the thick of handrail.
  •  Rail Elevation : Sets the elevation of handrail.
  •  Handrail : This area contains options to enable or disable the left and right handrail.
  •  Parts : This area contains options to enable or disable individual stair parts.
  •  Generate Mapping Coords. : Sets up the texture mapping coordinates to the stair.
  •  Make Step : Make the BIPED footstep file.

    • 2) SpiralStair
     

     
     
     

  •  Radius, Height : Set these to specify the radius and height of the stair object.
  •  Angle : Set this to specify the angle of the helix.
  •  Step Count : Sets the number of step.
  •  Column Radius : Set this to specify the radius of column of stair.
  •  Handrail Thick : Sets the thick of handrail.
  •  Rail Elevation : Sets the elevation of handrail.
  •  Handrail : This area contains options to enable or disable left and right handrail.
  •  Parts : This area contains options to enable or disable individual stair parts.
  •  Generate Mapping Coords. : Sets up texture mapping coordinates to the stair.
  •  Make Step : Make the BIPED footstep file.


    • 3) BIPED Footstep Generator


     

  • Walk Footstep : Set the duration of the footstep in frame.
  • Double Support : Set the time that both footsteps stay on the ground.
  • First step : Select the left or right side for first footstep.

    • [Limitations]

  • Body height fixed at 180.

    •     If you want to change the body height, change all the scale values(body height, leg height, pelvis width) in the STP file.
  • The transform of the stair do not affect to the transform of the footstep.

    •     So, you must apply transform to the footstep after loading STP file.
