Transition 1027
each object always has only one position, one
rotation, and one scale transform.
You can animate your transforms by turning on
the Auto Key button and then performing the
transform at any fr ame other than frame 0. This
creates a k ey for that transform at the current
frame.
Transition
IntheMotionMixerandinMotionFlow,a
transition is a gradual change between two motion
clips. You can set the frames at which the transition
starts and ends in each clip.

For information on transitions in Motion Flow, see
Customizing Transitions (page 2–1034).
Transition Track
A Motion Mixer track that allows you to stack clips
on top of one another, and to create automatic
transitions between them. Transitions on these
tracks are similar to those in a Motion Flow
network. Compare with a Layer track (page
3–961), which allows cuts only between clips. See
Adding Tracks to the Mixer (page 2–607).
Transluce nc y
Glass on the right has a light green translucency.
A translucent m aterial tr ansmits light, but unlike
atransparentmaterial,italsoscattersthelightso
those objects behind the material cannot be seen
clearly.
Raytrace materials (page 2–1512) can simulate
translucency. A Rayt race material’s Translucency
color component ignores surface normal
directions, giving the effect of light scattering.
You can also obtain translucency effects using the
Standard material’s (page 2–1465) Translucent
shader (page 2–1484).
Truecolor
Describes hardware and software that can support
up to 16 million color values. Also known as
24-bit color, or 32-bit color w hen saved with alpha
channel d ata (page 3–907).
