Re: Head rotation marker in facial example is moving

<r>Hi!<br/> <br/> Not really, I just reverted to not using the script at the moment.<br/> <br/> I am new to facial animation so there is a lot to learn, python scripting is further down the list. Of course at one point I will need to understand that too, but now is not the time <E>:)</E><br/> <br/> ...

Re: Head Rotation / Movement not Working

<t>Hi!<br/> <br/> Just to add that I just tried recording streaming motion into motionbuilder 2010 32 bit, from arena expression 1.6.3000, using the 2.3 version of the plugin, and got the same result. The head rotation appears when recording / streaming, but not when playing back.<br/> <br/> EDIT:<b...

Re: Head rotation is not streaming to motionbuilder plugin

Rock,

Thank you, indeed, checking the whole row of the first six checkboxes did it!

That should teach me to go back to learning 3d graphics the way I started, just click everywhere and see what it does :)

Thanks again!

Re: Head rotation is not streaming to motionbuilder plugin

<t>Hi, thank you for the quick reply!<br/> <br/> The problem is that the top four markers do not move, i.e. the rotation information is removed somewhere in the streaming from Arena to MB.<br/> <br/> So, assuming I understood your advice correctly, the problem I have is not how to use the data, but ...

Head rotation is not streaming to motionbuilder plugin

<t>Hi!<br/> <br/> I am running Arena Expression version 1.6.3000, streaming the example animation from the latest goodypack to Motionbuilder 2010 or 2011, each running the optitrack plugin version 2.3.<br/> <br/> The facial markers move properly, but no head rotation data is transmitted, as it is in...

Re: Head rotation marker in facial example is moving

<r>It turns out the tutorial cannot really be completed this way I realize, as the python script produces several errors about this and the other not being found, both with the original and updated C3D files, and the FBX created in Arena from the C3D as described above.<br/> <br/> So off to understa...

Re: Head rotation marker in facial example is moving

<t>Just an update, I now got access to our Optitrack Arena workstation, and so tested exporting the data in the C3D file from Expression again.<br/> <br/> The same issue persists when opening the file into the 1.6.300 version, and then exporting into a new C3D file. What is more, checking and un-che...

Head rotation marker in facial example is moving

<t>Hi!<br/> <br/> I�ve come across what may be an error in the "faceData.c3d" file from the latest Motionbuilder goodypack (v2). <br/> <br/> The optical marker "C3D:Unlabeled3" is moving around in the scene, across all three of its axes. Meanwhile, no marker contains any rotation data, and so I am...
