<t>Hello <br/> <br/> I am setting up a 12 camera system in a 20' x 19'/6" space (14' height.<br/> <br/> I searched the forums and not clear on the optimal camera height/position.<br/> <br/> I can go up to 14' high for the top camera though is that recommended ? Most people seem to say 10' ish though...

<r>Where do you find the motion builder plugin to download ? I do not see a download link under this <URL url="http://www.naturalpoint.com/optitrack/support/downloads.html#software"><LINK_TEXT text="http://www.naturalpoint.com/optitrack/s ... l#software">http://www.naturalpoint.com/optitrack/support...

I found a solution to this .. Simple thing you can over look. In the opticals tab in MB be sure to select "done" for the optical data then it will give it rotation, translation, fcurve data that can be exported in FBX format. I made a rigid body and that seems to work great.

<t>Hi does anyone know how to export the Rigid Body data from Motion Builder to something like c4d? I made a prop (guitar) and it captured fine and comes into motion builder ok but I am confused how to map it to a actor or get it out of MB. I tried constraining it and exporting a fbx but it wont sho...

BTW I tried the rigid body wizard and worked great also (added a guitar prop). I am now stuck trying to get it out of motion builder. Do you make it a character extension and plot the data that way ? I was using a .c3d file. Any tips would be most appreciated.

thanks

<t>Hi there.. I just wanted to add a follow up to all these posts. I finally got it all working amazingly well. (tears were welling up I was so happy) Anyway I think the key here for anyone else with problems is to download the latest software update. I had never got even close to these results befo...

<t>I am not as versed as I would like in motionbuilder but it seems that to use the Actor setting you need optical data. Is the c3d format optical then (like a point cloud)? <br/> <br/> I imported the bvh format and it is a skeleton and I am unable to use a actor on it. The reason being in order to ...

<t>Great, any idea if that would take long? <br/> <br/> Do you know of of ways to export the optitrack data (or convert it) in the meantime so that motionbuilder can recognize it?<br/> <br/> It seems like Motion builder has lots more tools to clean the data as raw point cloud data and I would like t...

Wondering is there an arena plugin for a MAC version of Motion Builder ?

thanks

<r>Ok I tried it again 7 times... same results after moving the cameras in closer and raising the horizontal cameras angling down slightly.<br/> <br/> I also watched the calibration video and repeated as close as I could. I am sending wand and calibration data and screen captures here I numbered eac...
