Hey,
I've been trying to setup a charector to work within motionbuilder, I made a rig with all the names etc, and charectorized it inside motionbuilder. Now, when I apply some of the mocap animations to the charector, the arms are all messed up. This is what the animation 'punchguy' looks like;

Ive never used motionbuilder before, so I dont really know how to fix it. I guess its something to do with my bones setup not being right around the shoulders?

Heres a quick pic of the skeleton in maya;

Any ideas?

Thanks!

Realised the shoulders wernt actually where shoulders should be (pretty stupid mistake!), and its cleaned up the animation a lot. Is it possible to add collisions to the skin, so its impossible to say move the arm into the charectors side?

I don`t think so. But you can play with offsets in character properties. That should help.
