Hi Sataru

Yes, you can open motionbuilder and Arena, but unless your pc is better than average, you will find it rather slow.

What version of Motionbuilder do you have? You need to have MB installed before you installed Arena, otherwise it wont see it

Sataru

what I meant is.. make sure you have MB installed before you install the Arena motionbuilder plugin (it is a separate install)

(note to self, never post late at night when you are dead tired and not making sense.. lol)

Hey Sataru,

Bryan's right. The MotionBuilder plugin is a separate install which you can download here:

http://www.naturalpoint.com/optitrack/s ... l#software

It supports MotionBuilder:

- 7.5 (x86)
- 2009 (x86, x64)
- 2010 (x86, x64)
- 2011 (x86, x64)
- 2012 (pending!)

During install it attempts to detect which versions of MotionBuilder are installed on your system and install them to the correct MotionBuilder plugins folder. If for some reason this fails, you can always manually copy the correct version over yourself.

We usually run arena and Mobu on the same machine - but as Bryan mentions if your scene has a lot of complexity or your system is below mid-range (mid range here tend to be a quad core system with mid-range graphics cards), you should consider running them separately.
