Export Rigid Body data from Motion Builder ?

Post by cam@anlanda.com »

Hi does anyone know how to export the Rigid Body data from Motion Builder to something like c4d? I made a prop (guitar) and it captured fine and comes into motion builder ok but I am confused how to map it to a actor or get it out of MB. I tried constraining it and exporting a fbx but it wont show up in c4d.

Do you have to make a character extension and plot the data that way ? any tips would be very helpful.

thanks

I found a solution to this .. Simple thing you can over look. In the opticals tab in MB be sure to select "done" for the optical data then it will give it rotation, translation, fcurve data that can be exported in FBX format. I made a rigid body and that seems to work great.
