motionbuilder videotutorials

[DangerAhead]

You're not alone. and apparently... don't quote me... Autodesk is coming out with some new videos soon. I dunno when. They've updated the store, but still NO Mobu vids.

I looked every where for a while and finally found some from I guy I know at work. none on eBay. none anywhere.

It truly is amazing how little info there is.

A have a few copies of the DVD's for MB 7 called Foundation. It's actually a nice resource and the tutorials are thorough. It covers looping clips, blending clips, keyframing basics, working with constraints, driving character facial animation using audio data, using facial motion data, working with poses, and using MB for previs. I forgot I had them. They're just sitting around and yes these are completely legitimate. If anyone is interested send me a private message.

Hey guys,

I hear you loud and clear - we need MORE learning materials.

And we are working on it! I can't give you a date, but I hope to have some new DVDs, as well as refreshed versions of our earlier learning tools soon.

Stay tuned!

this site has nice tuts for motionbuilder, use the filter menus to wade among the maya and max tuts. some of them have been brought from 3dbuzz I believe.

http://area.autodesk.com/index.php/tutorials/tutorial_index/3d_paths/

the MB demonstration page also has nice video tuts

Hopefully more stuff will become available from Autodesk.
I for one would like to see more about Relation / Macro constraints and python scripting.
cheers

Has 3Dbuzz taken down the MB tutes? I can't seem to find them.

hey Alonzo, the 3dbuzz site seems to have undergone quiet a haul up.
The Mobu forum there seems pretty dead now, but the MoBu video tuts are still there and can now be found under the top menu Training>Video Tutorials
A column on the left side will show up with links to MoBu, Maya, etc.
Problem is when you click on the vids thumbnail, nothing happens, at least for me, maybe they've been codec'd in some funny version of flash, dunno.... (using Firefox, maybe I'll try with IE or safari later)
let us know if you manage to get hold of them

cheers

oh, I had to log in to 3d buzz, then you can see the videos.

vids can't be downloaded as .rar archives like they used to, that option is gone.
But any flash video downloader utility should do the job...

I'm using MB 7.5. Although the videos are for an older version of MotionBuilder, they still apply... and I must say that they have saved my ass.
