I despise Truespace's native bone system so I have been playing around with the Motion Studio demo and have come to the conclusion that I need this plug-in, but first I have a question. Has anyone here used Motion Studio to animate your models and have successfully used them in DBP?

The honest answer is that I've never heard of it, let alone tried it. Unfortunately, I think the only way to find out is to dive in, make a model, animate it, export it, and try it out in DBP.

No wait! Save yourself!

It's possible to get boned models into DB or DBP from Truespace if you're using version's 4 or 5.(Havn't tested in 6, but if you're lucky it'll work)

Motion Studio looks like it would make animating in TS a lot easier($119.00 is a little steep though). I just bought v4.3 and find the UI a little difficult but do-able(probably get easier with some practice).

The plugin posted above makes TS a serious contender as a low cost high power modelling/animation solution for DBPro. It looks like it might be good for 3D cut scenes as well.

Right now I'm wrestling with the UI(these damn widgets seem to trip me up more than help ). Aside from that though....well worth the $79.00 .

Yeah I would, but like bitechu said $119 is a bit steep and after all that it might not work. I've played with the demo but save is disabled.

I have 6.6 and it seems that it even works without True X, I've only tested it once on a very simple model, but it was a successful run. But the thing is, now that I've tried Motion Studio I'm spoiled. I've found it to be such a nice plug-in.

Thank you very much for the suggestions, but I'm hoping someone has tried this before me so I don't have to be the guinea pig, lol.
