Kaydara has upgraded its real-time 3D character animation software to Version 5.5. MotionBuilder 5.5 Professional adds support for Python Scripting and CgFX shaders, translating to significant time-savings.

Support for the Python Scripting interactive, object-oriented programming language not only improves MotionBuilder's integration with game studios' production pipelines, but also enables users to automate repetitive tasks. With support for CgFX shaders and Nvidia's Cg shading language, game developers can import and customize shaders to create various effects.

MotionBuilder 5.5 Professional, complete with 12 months of support, is priced at $4195. An upgrade to Version 5.5 is flee to existing users of MotionBuilder 5.0 Professional and Standard. MotionBuilder is compatible with Windows 2000 and XP, and Mac OS 10.2 and higher.

Kaydara also has launched HumanIK|Middleware, its first middleware offering for game developers. ...
