[quote=NaturalPoint - Yoshi]Bryan,
Can you try "Skeleton as Rigid Bodies" checkbox? [/quote]

I followed the tutorial and tried this as well but when I hit play in arena, the biped in max doesnt move and simply stays in a T-pose. I get 'successfully connected to arena' and then 'biped successfully initialized' but no movement or anything. If I try to hit record, it says 'failed to allocate memory'. Any help would be appreciated as I'd really like to get this tool working. Thanks!

I found to get it to work I needed to have both checked
rigid body data and skeleton as rigid body.

That is correct. Additionally, check firewalls, as connection but no movement can often mean the data port is being blocked.

hi,friends.i need to use arena realtime data to drive the model created by 3dsmax biped template in my app now.
can you tell me how to add the mapping of the skeleton in arena and the skeleton in 3dsmax (created by 3dsmax biped template)?

because the bones number of the two skeleton are different,and some parent_child relationship of bones are different? thanks!

for example, arena has the bone of "left collar" , but 3dsmax biped template has not.

Way -

The 3DS Max plugin should handle the mapping automatically. The only thing you will need to do is select whether or not you want to use a toe (38 marker supports this) or not.

Hmm, not sure if we can do the code sharing. How are you attempting to make the plugin? What are you wanting to do that our plugin does not provide?
