Move Track

The Move track is only grouped in the sub-track set for Actors and iProps. It stores the motion clips as the actors or props are instructed to move. You may command these two objects in Director Mode or Editor Mode.

Director Mode

In the Director Mode, you may command your actors or props to Move via the Right-click Menu or Hotkeys during the recording process. Once the recording is done, the motion will be stored right onto the Move track.

1. Toggle the Director Mode by clicking the button if you are in the Editor Mode.

2. Make sure that you have selected the desired actor or iProp.

3. You may move your object in three methods as it is recording:

   • Use the WASD hotkeys to move the selected object with motions/animations (if it is not recording, press the Space Bar to start recording). You may also press the X / Z key to switch to another set of motions/animations for these four hotkeys.

     

   • Alternatively, you may right-click on the 3D viewer to pop up the Right-click Menu. Select any sub-command in the Move entry and click on the destination spot on the 3D viewer.

     

   • Use Ctrl + Double-click on the 3D viewer will also have the actor/prop move toward the destination with default motion/animation, which is the most convenient method to move the object.

4. The motion/animation clip will be stored into the Move track instantly as the move process finishes.

   

Note:

In the Director Mode, by using Shortcuts or Ctrl + Click, each event may generate a new motion clip segment as shown in the illustration above.

Editor Mode

In the Editor Mode, you may also add motion/animation clips onto the Move track. You can only achieve this goal by using the Right-click Menu however.

1. In the Editor Mode, right-click on the actor/iProp for moving.



2. Select any sub-command in the Move entry and click on the destination spot on the 3D viewer .

3. The motion/animation clip will be stored onto the Move track instantly as the object arrives at the destination.



Note:

Please note that whenever a Move clip ends at a frame when an Operate clip starts, the latter will be removed to prevent chaotic results.
