• Maya is high-end professional 3D computer modeling software that supports detailed graphical representation. Given its powerful and complex capabilities, it requires a steep learning curve for animation generation. Moreover, Maya needs additional software to handle various often-used mocap data formats (AMC/ASF, BVH, C3D etc.).
• MotionBuilder (MB) is specially designed software for 3D character animation with powerful tools to handle mocap data and various camera settings. It also provides well-designed physical constraints and optimization algorithms for motion-realistic animation. It is often encumbered by the skeleton incompatibility between shape models and mocap data.
