     asf2mel - convert ASF data into a Maya(tm) MEL script.

SYNOPSIS
     asf2mel [-h] [-copyright] [-f] [-p <prefix>] <asf file> <mel file>

VERSION
     1.1

RELEASED

DESCRIPTION
     Converts ASF data into a Maya MEL script.

     asf2mel has the following parameters:

     -h            Displays this manpage.

     -copyright    Displays copyright information.

     -f            When used, asf2mel will overwrite files without
                   verification.

     -p <prefix>   When used, prefix will be added to the beginning of all
                   joint names.  This is useful when importing multiple
                   skeletons into the same Maya scene.

     asf file      The file that contains a skeleton's definition.

     mel file      The MEL script output file name.

NAME
     amc2mov - convert AMC data into Maya(tm) importable data.

SYNOPSIS
     amc2mov [-h] [-copyright] [-f] [-m <value>] [-p <prefix>] [-luo <value>]
             [-filter "<filter name> [<filter name 2> ...]"]
             <asf file> <amc file> <fps> <mel file> <mov file>

VERSION
     1.2

RELEASED
     November 16, 1998

DESCRIPTION
     Converts ASF/AMC data into a MOV file and Maya MEL script.  The
     MEL script can be used to import the MOV file and apply it to
     a skeleton that was created with the script generated by asf2mel.

     When the MEL script that is produced by this command is executed
     in Maya, the user will be prompted for the MOV file name.

     amc2mov has the following parameters:

     -h            Displays this manpage.

     -copyright    Display copyright information.

     -f            When used, amc2mov will overwrite files without
                   verification.

     -m <value>    Frame multiplier.  All frame numbers will be
                   multiplied by this value.  Using a value of 0.5,
                   for example, will give you frames at 0.5, 1.0, 1.5
                   etc.  This allows you to use 30fps time units with
                   a 60fps motion and still play in real-time.

     -p <prefix>   When used, the given prefix will be added to the beginning
                   of all joint names.  This is useful when importing multiple
                   skeletons and motions into the same Maya scene.

     -luo <value>  Linear units override.  Use this to override the linear
                   conversion factor from the ASF file.  Normally this is
                   not necessary.  A value of 1.0 means that translations
                   are in inches, a value of 2.54 means translations are in
                   centimeters, etc.  Use this option if, for some reason,
                   the AMC file was generated using different linear units
                   than its corresponding ASF file.

     -filter       Specifies the names of the filters to be applied when
                   the data is imported.  The filters must be in the active
                   list of the Maya device editor or an error will occur.
                   The order of the application of the filters will be left
                   to right.

     asf file      The file that contains a skeleton's definition.

     amc file      The file that contains motion capture data.

     fps           The frame rate of the motion capture data.  Values
                   are limited to Maya's frame rates of 15,24,30,48,
                   50 and 60.

     mel file      The MEL script output file name.

     mov file      The MOV data output file name.

EXAMPLES
     amc2mov human.asf walk.amc 30 walk.mel walk.mov

     amc2mov -filter "simplify" human.asf walk.amc 30 walk.mel walk.mov
