What I did on this project

Starting from scratch, I took care of the Motionbuilder pipeline for the animators. My goal was to make tools for the them so they could animate in the best conditions. Here are some of the tools I’ve done:

• Exporter Tool to export and ensure all animations are compliant with our pipeline by applying metadata such as a production statuses.
• Reference Tool (like in Maya), linked to Perforce, to load elements (characters, props…) in the animator’s working scene.
• Sequence Tool to retrieve UE4 cameras within Motionbuilder.

• Quick Rig Tool to quickly generate rigs for animated props.
• Scene Checker to make sure everything’s fine before exporting the animations.
• Video Reference Tool to automatically retrieve video references for the currently edited animations.

I also continued to improve and maintain the existing tools I made during Vampyr and took care of compliance on consoles.
