Viewport Tools for Motionbuilder
This set of options allows to quickly enhance Mobu viewport.
It can help to see your animation in better environment and improve presentation.
Adding simple scene objects like checked floor, direction planes and volume boxes can help to better feel speed and distance of movement.
Adding lights, shadows and sky visually enhances the scene to make it more pleasant for eye during animating.
This is something that I was missing in Mobu. Its default viewport is quite poor and feels outdated. I made this tool to allow quicky transforming the scene to look more like i.e. unreal viewport and preview my animation in better environment.
Additionally there is a Tracking Character feature:
- it is creating 2 additional cameras which follows the target, allowing to see any movement details better
- if there is no selection then created cameras will be constrained to Hips joint of current character
- if something in scene is selected, then after creating cams, they will follow this object
- by default cameras are following only horizontally, but if you want to track vertical movement, then there is additional option on the side to track vertical movement
After opening the tool, it will analyse the scene to check if any of its elements (floor, sky, sky colour etc.) are present in the scene. Then it will show it checked in the UI for better feedback.
It's free of charge, but creating this took me many many days and research. I would appreciate any small donation :). This will motivate me to improve it and also to share and create other tools for Mobu which are rare to get ...
