Character Perfomance
and Animation Technology
Numerous timesaving features that enable you to generate unsurpassed
character animation faster than ever. An expanded suite of keyframing
tools gives you the ability to quickly and precisely work with
both keyframe and motion capture data. New, rigging and precision
animation tools deliver complete control over character manipulation,
posing and motion dynamics. |
 |
Pipeline
Tools
Improve the productivity, connectivity, and extensibility of
any animation production pipeline. Production progress is now
even easier to track with MotionBuilder’s improved Story
Timeline pre-visualization and preview capabilities. Version
6 also delivers a new Sets tool that can be used to improve
scene performance; and new pipeline integration features –
such as the ability to store data in a scene for use by downstream
applications, and a reworked SDK call-back system. |
 |
Workflow Enhancements
New functionality streamlines the animation process and allows
the software to interact still more seamlessly with other popular
3D packages. An improved, more intuitive user interface contains
new and enhanced navigational toolbars, a redesigned Properties
Viewer, and the ability to emulate the hotkeys of other 3D packages.
Moreover, as of MotionBuilder 6, new navigation buttons and
manipulators make it easier than ever to work in the Viewer.

Complete Motion Capture
Editing Solution
Avoid the delays, potential mistakes and creative compromises
often associated with outsourcing this important task. Import
files from any industry-standard mocap software and use MotionBuilder's
powerful, cleanup, blending and manipulation features to prepare
your data. Next, take advantage of the software's advanced tools
for mapping face and body motion data onto your characters.
|
Python Scripting
Support for the popular, easy-to-use, Python scripting language
allows game developers, and others, to better integrate MotionBuilder
into their production pipeline. Python enables users to automate
repetitive tasks and extend features without leaving the MotionBuilder
environment. |
Software Developer
Kit
Use the ‘Open Reality’ SDK to create custom tools
and features that plug into MotionBuilder Pro. In-house developers
can create project-specific functionality, which accommodates
specific workflows and requirements. This is an essential resource
for the creation of importers/exporters for game engines. |
CgFX Shader Support
Import CgFX shaders, customize them, apply them and visualize
your content (through advanced hardware rendering). MotionBuilder’s
CgFX shader support also gives users greater control of their
shaders’ real-time parameters, such as bump depth, color
and specularity. |

Compatible with all
authoring tools
FBX allows all types of data to be packaged into one file format
that can be used by most of today's 3D authoring software. With
FBX, you don't have to worry about which software application
the data came from, or how you are going to convert it. FBX
acts as an interchange hub between most 3D software, regardless
of software vendor or computer platform.
Robust data handling
Designed for animators working on state-of-the-art feature
films, games, television series and commercials, FBX allows
most 3D data types to flow effortlessly between different
software applications. Supported data includes all major NURBS
and polygon surface types, keyframe and mocap animation, shapes
and morph targets, materials and textures, lights, cameras,
hierarchical information and character animation data including
IK, envelopes and deformations.
