Autodesk has launched the new version of its 3D character animation software, MotionBuilder 2010.

The software has an enhanced shading language system, which helps user to extend the Autodesk 3D shared library. It also works independently as other Autodesk 3D programs using a command-line interface.

Windows, Mac OS X and Linux platforms also support the new standalone application. The Mac version of mental ray 7.5 is limited to Autodesk Maya 2010.
