Animation work flow
Do most people strictly animate in Maya, or use something like MotionBuilder for animating then import back in.
It seems like MB might be a much more efficient tool but perhaps not. I guess my real question would be asking if MB would be worth looking into obtaining or is it used more of as a crutch?
Would love to hear some opinions from this great community. Thanks.

In all the animation studio's I've worked in, we have always done all our animation in Maya. Motion Builder is an awesome tool, and some studios use it, but I think mainly Maya is used for animation and Motion Builder, more for previs and motion capture.
Imagination is more important than knowledge.
