Model

Card 00 — which model generates, the facts the server reports about it, and the one knob only that model has.

The model comes first because it decides the rest: the canonical skeleton, the frame rate, how long a single clip may be, and whether the motion steers from a trajectory. Every card below it inherits those facts.

The Model card at the top of the tool window, expanded to show the model dropdown and the facts line the server fills in underneath it.

ControlDescription
ModelPopulated from the server's advertised capabilities. Until a probe answers, the dropdown holds the model you used last, so a session that opens before the server is reachable still opens on something sensible.
Facts lineWhat the server says about the chosen model: its frame rate, the joint count of its canonical skeleton, the longest request it accepts, and whether it steers from a trajectory. Before a server has answered, the line reads "Connect to a server to read this model's capabilities."
Default walk speed (m/s)Appears only for trajectory-driven models, and is used when no Path constraint is drawn. A knob that would do nothing for the current model is not shown at all.

#Facts, not settings

Nothing on the facts line is editable, and nothing on it is a preference of yours. It is the server's own answer about the model you picked, quoted back at you — which is why the same prompt can behave differently on two models without anything in the window having changed.

Two of those facts have consequences elsewhere:

  • Frame rate. Motion is generated at the model's native rate. Whether it is keyed at that rate or at your scene's rate is decided by Match scene FPS in Settings → Extra options.
  • Canonical skeleton. The joint count on the facts line is the layout Create Skeleton builds in Skeleton. A rig that does not match it goes on the wire as it is, and the server decides whether to retarget it.

No server, no facts — the dropdown and the facts line are both fed by the server's capabilities probe. If the pill in Settings → Connection does not report a reachable server, this card is showing you what it remembered from last time, not what the server would say now.
