3ds Max 2009 New Features: Biped

New Biped features with 3ds Max 2009 and 3ds Max Design 2009:

Hands Like Feet Option
You have the option to have Biped character's hands behave like feet (with regards to the ground plane). This simplifies the number of steps needed to create quadrapeds.

Working Pivot Rotation
You can rotate Biped objects around the Working Pivot, as well as the Pick pivot. This makes it easier to create animations such as a character falling to the ground.

Mirror Animation Options
You can mirror Biped animation while keeping the COM orientation intact.

Triangle Neck
You can link a character's clavicles to the the top Spine link, instead of the neck (similar to the Triangle Pelvis feature).
