The MotionBuilder SDK requires that the Autodesk MotionBuilder software be installed on your computer.
Development in C++ for MotionBuilder is compatible with the Visual Studio 2010 development environment.
To develop additional user-interface elements with your C++ plug-in, you will require an installation of Qt 4.8.2 to include the appropriate Qt header files.
Binary compatibility of your C++ plugins across different versions of MotionBuilder is not guaranteed. It is recommended that you recompile your C++ plugins according to the targetted version of MotionBuilder.
MotionBuilder contains its own Python interpreter. Currently, MotionBuilder supports Python version 2.7.3. Your Python programs must therefore be compatible with this version of Python.
The embedded Python interpreter may also change as new versions of MotionBuilder are released. It is recommended to adapt your Python code accordingly to ensure forward compatibility.
