Motion Builder was originally developed as a front end application as to the popularity of motion capture devices coming out at the time and with newer MC products it’s not uncommon for a given application to also provided a device driver to take advantage of many of the nut and bolt features provided by MB as to it’s ability to manage a large block of animation data in bulk. Both have a similar base functions but have different outputs based on a need. Well comparing iClone to Motion Builder would be like trying to compare Adobe Premier to Adobe After Effects. Also the learning curve is very easy on iclone.Īlso Iclone 7.1 supports faceware in due course (demo out now). If your purpose is rapid story building and decent output.

I would recommend Autodesk only for heavy production environments. I purchased the $799 pack (software only). This is very useful and saves a lot of time if ur trying to seriously animate your character. I have purchased the preorder pack for iclone7 …Which gives iclone 6 for free, also the iclone 7/6 supports motion capture hardware from perception neuron. NO fan boy or fan girl type of comments please and remember that I’m unable to afford to purchase both the Autodesk subscription which has all of their major 3d animation softwares along with purchasing the new version of iClone so I have no choice but to choose between the two of them. Basically I just want some advice from those of you who have been able to use Autodesk Motionbuilder or iClone 6 either with DAZ Genesis or your own characters made from scratch. Since I’m still using iClone 5 Pro and 3dx Change 5 Pipeline and I can’t afford to buy nor pre-order both the new iClone 7 and new 3dx Change 7 along with the monthly subscription from Autodesk that includes Motionbuilder, 3ds Max, Maya, Mudbox, and their Character Generator at the same time I’m in need of some advice on this one. I know that iClone fully supports DAZ Genesis but I’ve been able to import Genesis characters into Autodesk Motionbuilder without any problems via FBX format. Hey everyone I’ve been searching through Google but cannot have not found anything about which would be better for animating characters particularly DAZ Genesis.
