Hi Vince,

Nope.. max 2008, the version after max 9 and before max 2009.. *snicker*.. no seriously, there was actually a folder for max 2008 in the plugins...

Bryan,
Can you try "Skeleton as Rigid Bodies" checkbox?

Yoshi

That worked! thank you very much! Now, just a quick question, what does "Root bone index" do?


thanks again!

Bryan

Hi there!
I'm Having some problems with the 3ds max plugin right now.
At my university we have this set of cameras from naturalpoint and it's sofware and all it's kind of old (it's version 1.1.304) and we're trying to make it work with 3ds amx so we can apply the recorded data in arena to a biped in 3ds max 2009 (64btis).

we intalled motion builder 64bits and all and have placed the plugin in 3ds max plugin folder it launches and conectecs to arena succesfully though when we try to start recording an error apears , it says it cannot allocate memory also it never seems to really conects as seen on the video as soon as the connection begins you can preview real time in both arena and 3ds max but it never happens. so we're kind of stuck here we can't get our data on 3ds max.

also i don't know if the problem is our version of arena cause when downloading says to set the multicast settings in arena and in 3ds max we can set it up in 3ds amx but whe havent find how to make it in arena, in the video there's this tab called stream that doesnt exist in our version it called other and the only options displayed are the IP adress,scale%,Frame rate and the Stream frame button but nothing else so I really don't know how to proceed here any ideas of how can we make it work?
Thanks! I'll be looking up for any suggestion and once again thanks
Leon.

You are trying to use the Motion Builder plugin for 3dmax?

the original plugin -

The Arena plugin for real-time streaming and recording in 3D Studio Max

* Arena/Expression 1.4 Beta is required for recording

Supported Versions of 3D Studio max
* 3D Studio Max 5
* 3D Studio Max 9
* 3D Studio Max 2009
* (please contact us if you are interested in having other versions of 3D Studio Max supported)

were exactly can I find the video tutorial for using the this plug in 3ds max real time streaming and recording located?
Thank you for the help on this.
Jack

Or download WMV versions of the five additional ARENA tutorials:

� Rigid Body Wizard (WMV, 5.42 MB)
� Full Body Capture And BVH (WMV, 6.98 MB)
� Editing Tools (WMV, 12.4 MB)
� MotionBuilder (WMV, 8.45 MB)
� 3D Studio Max (WMV, 8.41 MB)

...reading above, it was stated that the 2010 3ds Max plugin can be used with 3ds Max 2011. Will this be the same with 3ds Max 2012 when it is released shortly or will there be a new updated plugin and does the same apply for the Motionbuilder plugin?

Regards,
J

The Motionbuilder plugin does work with 2012. As we have yet to officially test a version with 3D studio max 2012, I can not comment specifically on this at this time.
