3D aniamtion blog motion builder

In this aniamtion lesson we looked at using “Autodesk motionbuilder”. To start you open it up and click onto file and selcect motion file import.

You should select the file ActorA_TPose and many cubes in the shape of a person should come up.

After that go into character template and select actor so a character appears.

Then scale the TPose up and then adjust the actor model so it is lined up. After make sure the actor is active.

Now this is the important part, go on to file and select merge. After select the file character

You should now have a more human looking character

 

Finally import the file “ActorA_Walk” and now the human character should move like the actor model and do a walk cycle.

What I learned

By doing this assignment I learned a bit about “Autodesk motionbuilder”. I found out how to import files and how to copy existing animations from one model into another model, which is important because it saves on memory, time and effort for us to import more features and more action into in game animation.
