The Autodesk products team is pleased to announce the availability of MotionBuilder 2020. This release provides updates that help animators be more efficient and productive so they can spend more time on the creative.
MotionBuilder 2020 Release Notes:
These release notes describe known limitations, issues, and fixes in Autodesk MotionBuilder. This release includes an improved story tool, new bookmarks in the Schematic view, and support for basic arithmetic operations. There's a new option to toggle manipulators during playback, and several updates to the SDK.
New Features and Enhancements
Improved playback
- Toggle manipulator visibility: You can now turn on the new Display > Hide Manipulators during Playback option to remove all manipulator elements during scene playback, providing you with a cleaner viewing experience.
- Render scenes using MP4: MP4 is now an Output Format in the Render window.
Bookmarks in the Schematic view
New bookmarks in the Schematic view let you quickly jump from one region of the schematic to another, eliminating the need to manually search for nodes. Bookmarks save the x and y position of the existing nodes, the expanded or collapsed state of the nodes, and the width, height, and zoom factor used by the Schematic view.
Lock story clips
You can now lock story clips using the new In/Out Locked property. Locking a clip prevents animators from accidentally moving or retiming a clip, and avoids subsequent issues that can arise later in the animation pipeline.
New custom Frame Rate support
The frame rate 119.88 is now supported. This is a standard used for UHDTV and many cameras.
Unlimited undo levels
A new Undo preference (Settings > Preferences > Undo) lets you set an infinite undo queue.
Support for arithmetic operations
Numeric and timecode fields now support basic arithmetic operations. For more information on specific operators.
Modify a single axis using a delta numerical value
Simply double-click a translation arrow, rotation ring, or scaling handle, and enter a value to precisely transform the object.
Resize Add/Remove Namespace window
The Add/Remove Namespace window now easily accommodates long namespaces. The window's default size is larger than in previous releases, and it can now be resized.

Known Issues
Cameras
Scene file opens with "camera" instead of default "producer perspective" with Drag-And-Drop
Workaround: FBX file defines the DefaultCamera as being "Camera". MotionBuilder 2020 is now correctly using the DefaultCamera set in the file. MOBU-11023
Note: The drag-and-drop options are not set the same way in 2019 vs 2020.
2019: All the system settings are off
2020: All the system settings are on
Installer
CentOS : MotionBuilder requires missing system library (libXScrnSaver)
Workaround: Manually install the packages. You don't need to include the versions of the packages, just the names. These are system packages:
sudo yum install libXScrnSaver
or
libXss.so.1 from package libXScrnSaver
MOBU-11043
File I/O
MotionBuilder "Send to Maya" on Linux is broken (synergy file)
Workaround: Remove the MotionBuilder2020.2020.0.64.syncfg dir in Synergy folder (/opt/Autodesk/Synergy). Replace it with a MotionBuilder2020.2020.0.64.syncfg file. That file will need to have the install path of MotionBuilder. MOBU-11044
Licensing
MotionBuilder on Linux may not work with serial numbers the first time. Subsequent launches work as expected
Workaround: Try re-launching the application or de-registering/re-registering MotionBuilder with AdskLicensingInstHelper to correct behavior. MOBU-11034
UI
Profiling Center: GPU Skinning toggle does not work with older Nvidia drivers
Workaround: Update to a newer Nvidia driver MOBU-10933
Crash with FBCharacterExtension.GetCharacter when an Extension is not attached to a character MOBU-10956
