Stream Rigid Body and a skeleton?

Post by DonBurroni »

Hi guys,
anybody done full body and prop capture?
when i stream the data to motionbuilder, the actor becomes a child of the rigid body (in this case a tennis racket).

Im on the end of the racket, looks good but not what im after.

Any Ideas?

Hey Guys,

This is known issue with the current plugin. Upcoming plugin release (next week or so?) contains a fix. If you need it before then please contact support and they can get you a copy.

This has been fixed, but before it was we had a lot of fun watching our actor walk up to a gun prop, but instead of him picking it up, the prop picked him up and carried him around.

There was some good comedy in the moment!

We have hit a new snag though. We recently tried streaming two actors and a rigid body to MotionBuilder. Arena seemed fine with actually tracking both actors and the rigid (Insight VCS). But as soon as I turned on rigid bodies for streaming and hit the Start Stream button, Arena would crash. As soon as I unloaded one of the skeletons it worked fine again.

Anyone else tried this?
