Interface Overview

 
 
 

As with most software, MotionBuilder, includes standard interface items that let you perform general tasks.

For example, you can use the menu bar to perform various operations such as creating and saving a scene, opening, merging, and saving files and selections, exporting scenes to 3ds Max and Maya, importing audio, video, and point cache files, importing and exporting motion files, batch processing and rendering files, as well as adding and saving file properties, and exiting the application . The menu bar also enables you to edit and animate elements in your scene, show and hide windows, set preferences and interaction mode, choose a layout or create a custom layout, access the Python Tools and various help menu options.

This chapter discusses the basic interface and includes topics on the menu bar, windows, fields, or other interface items that appear in more than one place within the software product.

There may be minor differences in how the User Interface (UI) displays on various system layouts (i.e. monitor resolution of 1024, 1280, 1440, 1600, or 1920).

NoteThe screenshots shown were taken on a Microsoft Windows 7 operating system (OS) with the monitor set at a resolution of 1920 x 1200. Therefore, the screenshots may not match how the MotionBuilder UI is displayed on your system.
