Arena skeleton to MotionBuilder Actor template
Arena skeleton to MotionBuilder Actor template
Hi,
I don't need to stream, but I would like to edit the optical data in MotionBuilder. Is there a way to automatically convert an Arena skeleton to a MB actor?
We just upped to MB 2010. Any plans for a 64 bit streaming solution for this?

Autoconvert?
We can export via BVH, as well as FBX, and C3D.
We are currently looking at a MB2010 plugin

Actually, I was wondering if there was a way for Arena to automatically assign optical markers to the MB "Actor" (skeleton), sort of like how it streams right onto a Max biped without having to tell it which markers get applied to which biped bone.
I just watched the tutorial again, and it looks like you have to manually set it up each time. I'd like to request that feature be added. Pretty please?
Looking forward to MB2010 plug!!

You can right click on skeleton in Assets window and select Export FBX. It should contain MB actor with markerset assigned.

I was very excited to discover this feature since it's so much easier to align a skeleton properly in Arena than in MB in my opinion. Once you setup your skeleton in Arena, just right click on the trajectorized data clip, export to FBX and then open up in MB and bam you have an actor all ready to go with markers assigned. That's a feature I constantly requested with my old competing system. Thanks NaturalPoint!

This is using version 1.5 beta, right? I haven't installed it yet, but now I definitely will. Thanks guys!
Re: Arena skeleton to MotionBuilder Actor template
Hey guys,
This may seem like a dumb question, but after upgrading to 1.5 beta and opening an old (1.4) project, I no longer see the skeleton wizard and the skeleton doesn't show up in asset window even though it shows up in the scene. Did you get rid of skeleton wizard?

Re: Arena skeleton to MotionBuilder Actor template
Nope skeleton Wizard is still part of the software.
Re: Arena skeleton to MotionBuilder Actor template
Is there any reason it wouldn't be there? Running Vista 64, license is good through 02-10-2010.
Re: Arena skeleton to MotionBuilder Actor template
bad install of the software?
The license file isn't seen?
