I would like to see in new version

- smaller character control panel
-when i have more than one character I would like to see(at least see) two character controls same time, it is annoying always switching characters when i work with them at the same time
-I would like to see fingers and foot window in a one plate, not seperate( even figure area is so huge a lot of space and why not like this options!
- voice device has a an issue, when you applied to characters `constraint` doesnt conect automatically, you have to do manuel…
-better dockable process(smarter)and after docking more flexiblae resizes windows…
- detacable viewer area
-when split the viewer area, i would like to arrange my split view window(normally it is stack and impossible to resize each view)
-when i split viewer area 2 or other, mbuilder automatically split horizontal or verticle, but i prefer to manage it how i wish( I hate horizontal split and thank god Mbuilder is generally doing that and impossible to move the window to re arrnge)) )
- I would like to make my custom panel as resources or navigator tabs ,and i can make my panels as i wish
-when i clikc any are at the Transport Controls I prefer timeline cursor jump there, it is ennoying alays taking and moving where i want...( i mean as maya it could be ) , or when i make smaller timeline range, cursor is being outside of the range and i have to find it…
-I have double monitor, when i re open Mbuilder, it never recognize where it was closed always open in primary monitor, but maya and other applicatinos always recognize it!
-MBuilder working suitable but it needs better interface and interface organization

thank you

Hi,

I usually don’t post stuff, but couldn’t resist commenting on some of your requests. just some tips and opinoins. ;D

- smaller character control panel

One good thing about it,s size is that aux and and pivot effectors could stack upp in the empty areas. and it’s easier to find and click on the controllers. Best maybe to give the user the control over the size of it.

-when i have more than one character I would like to see(at least see) two character controls same time, it is annoying always switching characters when i work with them at the same time

This would clutter up precious screen space imo. But if you click on another character in the viewer you’ll automatically switch to that character in the character control panel.

- I would like to make my custom panel as resources or navigator tabs ,and i can make my panels as i wish

You can do some of that.
Save a layout new custom layout and the locate the new layout. found here, (atleast for MB2012 for win7).
C:\Users\"user_name"\Documents\MB\2012-x64\config\Layouts

and edit that as you wish.

-when i clikc any are at the Transport Controls I prefer timeline cursor jump there, it is ennoying alays taking and moving where i want...( i mean as maya it could be ) , or when i make smaller timeline range, cursor is being outside of the range and i have to find it…

You can do this as well, if you use Motion builder controls you’ll just have to hold CTRL and SHIFT and LMB click anywhere in the timeline and it will jump there.

-I have double monitor, when i re open Mbuilder, it never recognize where it was closed always open in primary monitor, but maya and other applicatinos always recognize it!

I get that sometimes as well, but not always. Save your layout and just click on your layout and you’ll all good to go again. takes 2 sec. ;D

All the best! :D

Hi EyelessCamel, thank you for the answer and for the good tips. Autodesk contact with me about the request and you explained so good also.

about custom panel i am going to try it and will write to result here asap

I tried about Transport Controls with ctrl or shift but i still cant get the result, and this is quite important for me ,because it is always somewhere and to find is quite annoying

about layout, you are right i am doing same thing, but why not as the other app. ))

about 2 characters: you are right, but as a personal maybe! I would like to see two character controls in front of my eyes , i am working with meshes and i dont select the controls from viewport generally, I like the character control panel ,but it might be just personal wish…

and i still wish smaller character panel (at lease optional)

thank you for the tips

I’d like to see the Auxiliary effectors plotting properly as they did until the feature was broken in MB2011.
