| <p>The Motion Paths tool allows you to visualize the motion of points as paths over a series of frames. | |
| These points can be object origins and bone joints.</p> | |
| <p>To create or remove motion paths, it is necessary to first select the bones. Then:</p> | |
| <ol class="arabic simple"> | |
| <li>To show the paths (or update them, if needed), click on the <em>Calculate Path</em> button.</li> | |
| <li>To hide the paths, click on the <em>Clear Paths</em> button.</li> | |
| </ol> | |
| <div class="admonition note"> | |
| <p class="first admonition-title">Note</p> | |
| <p class="last">Remember that only selected bones and their paths are affected by these actions!</p> | |
| </div> | |
| <p>The paths are shown in a light shade of gray for unselected points, | |
| and a slightly blueish gray for selected ones. | |
| Around the current frame a glow indicate the direction of movement: | |
| blue towards future frames and green towards the past. | |
| Each frame is displayed by a small white dot on the paths.</p> | |
| <p>The paths are automatically updated when you edit your poses/keyframes, | |
| and they are also active during animation playback. Playing the animation | |
| affects the paths only when the <em>Around Current Frame</em> option is enabled.</p> | |
