good explaination, but not that relevant for motion builder

By Omkar Kolge on 4/4/2023

nice and informative

By Erik Ouellet on 11/24/2022

It told me what I needed to know. Which is great. But it was all based on only one example and lacked any practicle exercices to get a better grip of the sofware. I followed along and had some technical errors, with no idea how to work around those. More research is needed on my part.

By Ryan Bai on 4/15/2019

Very nice tutorial. It basicly covers the key workflow like retargeting humanoid character, removing noise from mocap animations, and edit the glitch of the animation data. The tutor speaks fast, very straight forward, he doesn't speak useless nonsense. It's probably not friendly for learners that have no 3d development background as the pace is fast and too many concepts pop up to you. But it's fine for experienced people with related fields. I'm a game developer, skillful programming, with concepts of animation. Motion Builder has quite similar concepts of humanoid character system like game engines like Unity, UE4. So it's quite easy for me to finish.

It did have some good information and so, but it was pretty basic in terms of content and depth into Motionbuilder.

By Henry Hill Jr on 4/6/2018

Very knowledgable. His knowledge is a bit over my head. I wish his videos were downloadable so I can watch offline and rewind as much as I need to.

By Andre Wahl on 1/25/2018

This course was a nice refresher in motion builder, but I cant help but feel that it is incomplete. Exporting animation clips and moving from motion builder to another program, such as Maya or a game engine, are not covered.

By Raphael Argento de Souza on 1/6/2017

The instructor is great and goes direct to the point. His explanations are very easy to follow and to understand. Also the course shows some concepts that many books doesn't. I was surprised by the amount of useful tips presented in this course.

By Simone Brunini on 1/17/2016

Everything well explained, maybe some sheets will improve the comprehension of commands etc.
