Autodesk MotionBuilder 2009
Autodesk MotionBuilder 2009
Autodesk® MotionBuilder® 2009 software gives animators, technical directors, and moviemakers high-quality, interactive visualizations within the 3D viewport, and much more.Simulate in Real Time
Use real-time collisions to prevent characters, objects, and other scene elements from interpenetrating, or dynamically create a character
falling and hitting the ground with the new rag doll solver. The ability to produce rigid-body dynamic simulations in MotionBuilder adds a new level of interactivity and realism to your animations.
Extend, Customize, and Integrate
Use Python® scripting language to quickly build custom tools that facilitate the process of integrating MotionBuilder with your pipeline.
MotionBuilder 2009 provides vastly improved Python script development capabilities.
Interact with Sophisticated Scenes
Create advanced lighting effects to increase the subtlety and realism of your scene, and see those same lighting effects displayed accurately in the MotionBuilder viewport, even as you interact with the scene in real time.
Autodesk MotionBuilder 2009 Key Features
Rigid-Body Dynamics
You can now set up a real-time, rigid-body simulation using the 3D objects within your scene.
Take advantage of support for real-time collisions to prevent interpenetration of characters, objects, and other scene elements, invaluable for those looking to efficiently edit 3D animations involving characters interacting with objects.
Rag Doll Solver
The addition of a new rag doll solver enables you to simulate complex interactions between a character and its environment that would be time consuming and difficult to animate using traditional keyframing or motion-capture techniques. Such interactions could include a character falling and hitting the ground, for example. This simulation is applied to the character’s control rig and can be mixed with existing animation data (for example, mocap data of a character wildly waving its arms) or poses for increased realism (the same character waves its arms as it falls).

Experience the Freedom of Real Time with Autodesk MotionBuilder 2009 Software
Production teams are discovering that not only does the real-time interactivity of Autodesk MotionBuilder software help to make animators far more productive, it puts creative control back in the hands of directors and cinematographers.
We consider MotionBuilder to be an absolutely essential tool, always ready for any shoot. If you work with mocap data, MotionBuilder is what you want to be using because if you try another package not designed specifically for mocap data, it’s going to be a complete headache.
MotionBuilder lets you quickly and nondestructively edit animation to create cycles, cut things down, and a lot more.
Performance/Support for Windows 64-Bit
This release of MotionBuilder extends support to the 64-bit Intel® and AMD®-based Windows® platform, including the Windows Vista® Business 64-bit operating system. Use the software on a 64-bit platform and benefit from significant performance improvements, including the ability to address considerably more memory (up to 128 GB for Windows XP 64-bit, for example). This capability means you can handle larger and more complex scenes and improve performance since swapping is no longer necessary.
