Exporting motion files is a method of transferring data from MotionBuilder to a variety of different motion file formats. MotionBuilder lets you export the following motion data, scene, and skeleton file formats:
| Import Format | Description |
|---|---|
| 3D Studio Scene (.3ds) | 3ds Max file format is a scene format that opens its own custom dialog boxes. See Exporting options for scenes. |
| Acclaim (*.asf, *.amc) | Acclaim format is a dual format where an .asf file contains a definition of a skeleton and one or more .amc files contain the motion data used by the skeleton. |
| Biovision (*.bvh) | Biovision file format for hierarchical or skeletal-based data. |
| DXF scene (*.dxf) | AutoCAD file format, which is a scene format that opens its own custom dialog boxes. See Exporting options for scenes. |
| Motion Analysis (*.htr) | Hierarchical Transformation Rotation, a hierarchical skeleton data format captured using Motion Analysis capture hardware. |
| Motion Analysis (*.trc) | Motion Analysis .trc format. |
| Obj (*.obj) | Objects file format for loading object information into Maya. |
| Vicon (*.c3d) | Motion data file created with Vicon capture hardware. |
Some file formats provide additional options that display beneath the Existing Files options in the Export Option dialog box.
