Baking Constraint Results - Path, Reach, Link, LookAt

Unlike iMotions, which can only be used for exchanging body motions between characters, MotionPlus format can include more data, such as Constraint Keys for exchanging. The Look At, Reach, Link and following Path animations can be passed to any standard or non-standard character by using a single MotionPlus file.

1. In iClone, apply a character.
   
2. Create body motion for the character.
   
3. Have the character walk along a path.
   
4. Make the character to Look at a target.

   * Please notice that, by default, the constraint keys will be baked automatically into the MotionPlus file as long as the Motion checkbox is activated.
8. Apply another character into iClone. This character can be either in this project or another new one.
   
9. Drag and drop the saved MotionPlus file onto the new character.
   
10. You can see that the included motions, as well as the constraint results are applied to the new character, even though the looking target and the path are removed.
