Combine polygon primitives into polygon soup primitives when creating the shape library. This can reduce memory usage, particularly when rendering with Mantra.

The default layer for the agent, created using the display flags of the objects. Every agent must have at least one layer.

Specifies a scale for the bounding box of each shape in the default layer. See the Agent Primitive help page for more information on how an agent’s bounding box is computed.

Generate a collision layer from geometry containing capture/deform weights. This generates capture region primitives and assigns them to the corresponding bones in the rig.

When Generate Collision Layer is on, the name of the collision layer.

Name of the baked out clip (agent animation). The animation is taken from the current scene.

Adds channels from the specified CHOP node to the agent’s clip.

Whether to use the scene’s global frame range or the Start/end/inc parameters.

When Frame Range is “Specific”, the start frame, end frame, and frame increment to bake out.

All values may be decimal (for example, start on frame 1.5).

Shift output clips from the specified frame range to start at frame 1.

When enabled, this will create an extra joint named __locomotion__ which serves as a placeholder for factored out locomotion animation when Convert to In-Place Animation is enabled.

Convert a moving character animation to an in-place clip, by subtracting the positions of the Locomotion Node (relative to the origin or where it was on the first frame depending on Use Pivot from First Frame parameter).

The object inside the Character Rig that controls the locomotion of the character (the node in the character rig that has translation channels that move it forward in space). When Convert to In-Place Animation, Houdini uses this to remove the translation from the character animation to keep the character in place. (The crowd solver node assumes that the agent animation is in-place since it will be attached to a moving particle.)

The locomotion animation is placed in a separate transform in the rig named __locomotion__. If this parameter is empty, then __locomotion__ will use the Character Rig.

If this parameter and Locomotion Node are specified, the generated __locomotion__ transform will also contain rotational information using the vector from the Locomotion Node to the Locomotion Orient node. If this transform is the same as the Locomotion Node, its orientation will be directly extracted. This parameter has no effect if Locomotion Node is empty.

When creating the animation of the Locomotion Node, project the positions along the dominant axis of motion in the XZ plane. If the clip will be used as an in-place clip with the crowd solver, enabling this option can help to maintain hip swaying in the motion.

When creating the animation of the Locomotion Node, calculate the positions to be relative to the origin. If this option is disabled (the default), then the positions will be relative to where it was on the first frame.

Create polygon soup primitives instead of polygon primitives when loading geometry from the FBX file. This can reduce memory usage, particularly when rendering with Mantra.

When importing a skinned mesh, additional capture regions with identity transforms are added to the boneCapture attribute for the ancestor joints of any captured joints. It is recommended to only enable this option for compatibility with older scene files, as it can introduce issues with unpacking or merging the rest geometry of multiple skinned shapes.

The default layer for the agent, created using the display flags of the objects. Every agent must have at least one layer.

Specifies a scale for the bounding box of each shape in the default layer. See the Agent Primitive help page for more information on how an agent’s bounding box is computed.

Generate a collision layer from geometry containing capture/deform weights. This generates capture region primitives and assigns them to the corresponding bones in the rig.

When Generate Collision Layer is on, the name of the collision layer.

Specifies the names of the animation clip(s). A clip is created for each take in the FBX file. The ${FBX_TAKE_NAME} and ${FBX_TAKE_INDEX} local variables can be used to generate clip names based on the take name and index from the FBX file.

Specifies whether to use the value of the Sample Rate parameter instead of the sample rate stored in the FBX file. This is useful if the application that exported the original FBX file did not set the sample rate correctly.

Sample rate to use for the clip when Override Sample Rate is enabled.

When enabled, this will create an extra joint named __locomotion__ which serves as a placeholder for factored out locomotion animation when Convert to In-Place Animation is enabled.

Convert a moving character animation to an in-place clip, by subtracting the positions of the Locomotion Node (relative to the origin or where it was on the first frame depending on Use Pivot from First Frame parameter).

The object inside the Object Subnet that controls the locomotion of the character (the node in the character rig that has translation channels that move it forward in space).

Convert a moving character animation to an in-place clip, by subtracting the positions of the Locomotion Node (relative to the origin or where it was on the first frame depending on Use Pivot from First Frame parameter).

The name of the joint that controls the locomotion of the character (the joint in the skeleton that has translation channels that move it forward in space). When Convert to In-Place Animation, Houdini uses this to remove the translation from the character animation to keep the character in place. (The crowd solver node assumes that the agent animation is in-place since it will be attached to a moving particle.)

The locomotion animation is placed in a separate transform in the rig named __locomotion__. If this parameter is empty, then __locomotion__ will use the Object Subnet.

If this parameter and Locomotion Node are specified, the generated __locomotion__ transform will also contain rotational information using the vector from the Locomotion Node to the Locomotion Orient joint. If this transform is the same as the Locomotion Node, its orientation will be directly extracted. This parameter has no effect if Locomotion Node is empty.
