Using Behaviors

Browsing for Behaviors

All available behaviors appear in the Library tab. Selecting the Behaviors category in
the category pane of the Sidebar reveals the seven behavior subcategories. Selecting a
subcategory reveals all behaviors of that type in the Library stack pane.

When you select a behavior in the Library stack, a short description and preview of it
appear in the Preview area.

Note: To help you understand how each behavior works, the animated behavior
previews provide hints in the form of animation paths and color coding. While most
previews are self-explanatory, the Parameter previews show before/after examples of
the behavior’s effect on an animated object, with the gear graphic turning red to show
the object after the behavior takes effect. For Simulation behaviors, the red gear
graphic shows which object in a group has the selected behavior applied to it.
