? animators or companies working on Motion Builder

[MsBrisby]

Hello everyone,

I was just reading up on some of the new features in MB 7 and it looks really great. I work at a small company as the Lead character animator and have alot of pull as to what software we purchase, right now we’re mainly using Maya but I was wondering if MB might be a good addition?

It seems that MB is mostly used for games though. We don’t do games so I was wondering if it’s a good tool for the film/broadcast industry? Are you able to animate in MB and then bring that animation into your scene in maya?

Thanks for the help!

In short - yes. Check ou the PLE version and the MB training videos on 3dbuzz. Also look at the demo videos for maya-mb-maya workflows on the autodesk site. I have used MB almost exclusively for keyframe animation for years.
