Scene Blending Settings

Updated: 11/29/2022

Scene blending allows multiple scenes to be blended together for playback.
For example, “facial expressions” and “body movements” can be divided into different scenes and combined for playback.

Also, by using the Settings of the cmo3-can3 linkage, you can check whether can3 scenes can be used for multiple models, for example, when changing clothes.
Scenes created with other models can be replayed with the values applied, provided the IDs of the parameters are the same.

This page describes the [Scene Blending] setting items in the [Physics and Scene Blend Settings] dialog box.
See “How to Set Scene Blending” for details on scene blending settings and playback.
Scene blending can be set from the [Modeling] menu -> [Open Physics/Scene Blending Settings].

Note: The [Physics and Scene Blend Settings] also includes a tab for [Physics] settings. Make sure the [Scene Blending] tab is selected.
