Environment Variables

The following environment variables are recognized by MotionSampler:

ALIAS_PROJECT overrides any settings in .Aliasprefs for the current project.

ALIAS_WORKENV specifies the directory that contains your user_data directory of projects. Your project should be in the path, $ALIAS_WORKENV/user_data/$ALIAS_PROJECT.

ALIAS_LOCATION specifies the name of the directory that contains the subdirectories that contain the configuration files that are part of Alias's installation.

ALIAS_PLUGIN_PATH specifies a list of directories, separated by colons, in which the plugin modules are located. Files ending in .k.so, .s.so, or .f.so are examined by MotionSampler as potential plugins. The default value is $ALIAS_LOCATION/plugins. A useful customization is to add a " .: " ahead of the default path to pick up any plugins in your current directory. For example: setenv ALIAS_PLUGIN_PATH ".:$ALIAS_LOCATION/plugins"

ALIAS_PLUGIN_HELP alters the location where MotionSampler looks for plugin help files. It can specify an absolute path or one that is relative to ALIAS_PLUGIN_PATH. The default value is Help.

ALIAS_TALENT_FACES specifies the directory where MotionSampler searches for face icons to use in the Talent Editor. Normally, MotionSampler follows the same search path that the program clogin uses to locate user icons. More information about this variable is found in the UNIX man-page for clogin.

ALIAS_USER_HELP_READER specifies a new command for reading plugin help files. The default value is /usr/sbin/jot -v. Help files formatted for HyperHelp (.hlp) are read using HyperHelp.

ALIAS_PREDEFINED_MODULES specifies a list of directories, separated by colons, that MotionSampler searches when looking for instances of the file PREDEFINED.pipe. These files specify a set of predefined plugin modules.

ALIAS_USER_ERROR_READER specifies a new command for reading the MotionSampler error log. The default value is /usr/sbin/jot -v.

MS3_FPS specifies the number of frames in one second of animation for the interpretation of frame values in input or output Alias wire files. The command line argument overrides this variable. The default value is 30.
