You can record the animation data and then play it back in Behavior.
Look into the motion.StartCapture(),  motion.StartPlayback() functions.

Subject: How to do Multiple passes with Behaviour



Hi All,



Don't know if there is a Behaviour List somewhere - anyone??  



Anyway - I am trying ot do something pretty simple, create a curve
preset crowd - render it in 2 passes, BUT I am using the random scaling
tool in the populate panel to scale my characters - works great for the
1 pass, until it finshes simulating, then the characters in the XSI
viewer/world file pop to their normal scale - all of them - now this
kinda makes it difficult to redo the sim for the shadow pass render
setup??  AS if I now repopulate to get the random scaling, it becomes
random - and the shadows don't match the previous pass!  Anyone know how
to get round this, and also how you can easily randomly scale characters
after painting them into the XSi viewer, as this poulate tool does not
have any randon scaling capabilitites!!



Thanks



Sandy
