About Playlist
Updated: 11/08/2024
Playlists allow 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 [Settings of the cmo3-can3 linkage], you can check if a scene from a single animation file can be used in multiple model files, for example, when changing clothes.
You can replay scenes created with different model files by applying values as long as the parameter IDs are the same.
This page describes the [Playlist] setting items in the [Physics Settings] dialog box.
Please refer to “How to set up a playlist” for the procedure of setting up and playing a playlist.
Note: There is also a tab for [Physics] settings in the [Physics Settings] dialog box, so make sure that the tab for [Playlist] is selected.
