Anybody used Motion Builder

[Adam H. Stewart]

We are ramping up to do a big project that requires some running characters in Maya. We used biped for something similar a couple of months ago and the art director was wondering if there was a similar product available for Maya. Motion builder is the nearest I can think of - has anybody used it ? What do you think ?

Thanks as always for your help.

Thanks for the help but...

Thanks for the advice but they are already rigged in maya - bringing them into max I think would be a complete nightmare. The other problem with these files is they have a massive amount of textures - upwards of 4 thousand of them each !! - we have reduced them to 50% and 25% just to get them to render in Maya on a 64Bit machine, doing that again for max I'm sure would drive me insane.

Thanks again - I guess I'll be becoming a Maya animator again.
