Autodesk® MotionBuilder® 2012 software delivers new tools for virtual movie-making, performance animation, and stereoscopic productions, and enhanced interoperability with other products in the Autodesk® Entertainment Creation Suites 2012.

New features in MotionBuilder 2012 include:

Stereo Support: Author and view stereoscopic content in MotionBuilder, with the new in-viewport stereoscopic display and camera rig. Camera data can be exchanged with Autodesk® Maya® 2012, Autodesk® Flame® 2012, and Autodesk® Smoke® 2012 software via Autodesk® FBX® 2012 asset exchange technology.

Single-Step Interoperability: Enjoy a more seamless workflow that leverages multiple Autodesk Entertainment Creation Suite products, with new single-step interoperability between MotionBuilder 2012, Maya 2012 or Autodesk® 3ds Max® 2012 software.

Enhanced UI Scheme: An enhanced, dark-colored UI scheme brings a modern look to MotionBuilder, consumes less screen real-estate, and provides greater consistency with other products in the Autodesk Entertainment Creation Suites.

F-Curve Editor Enhancements: Enjoy some of the best features from the f-curve editors within each of the products in the Autodesk Entertainment Creation Suites 2012, combined into a toolset that offers more consistent functionality and terminology—so you can switch more easily between products.

HumanIK Unification: Working with characters in both MotionBuilder 2012 and Maya 2012 is now easier, with an enhanced interface, unified solver and more consistent workflows for HumanIK® technology.

Live Video In: Stream reference video from a motion capture session directly into MotionBuilder and recorded simultaneously with the motion capture data on a per-take basis.

Audio Per Take: More easily deal with multiple animation variations that each have associated audio, with the ability to handle separate audio files per take.
