Just curious mark, Do you create character animation in >motion builder with default Rigs in motion builder and >export to FBX Format?? That's possible, but so far I've just been exporting bvh files and using them in Poser with Vicky3. >Lightwave 3D imports and export to FBX format as does MAYA >And MAXwould you care to see if you can open this walk >cycle exported to kaydara FBX Format( Link) It opens and plays the animation, but to use that rig animate it MB you would have to match MB's joint names in LW. You can also match them up manually in MB with about 5 mins of work. -Mark
