creating a skeleton without help from a second person
Is there a way to create a skeleton if you're the one wearing the mocap suit and you don't have anyone else to ctrl-click on the markers while you're in the T-pose?

Re: creating a skeleton without help from a second person
Hello mocapsteve,
If you are trying to run the system on your own, you could capture a recording (.tak) of yourself walking into the volume, T-Posing, and walking out. You will then have a recording that you can use to create your skeleton from. Just open the Take and create the skeleton as though you were live.
Once the skeleton is created, you can use it in additional recordings by choosing to Export the skeleton. When you go live you can open the exported skeleton file to bring the asset into your live session.
As an additional tip, you might make use of the countdown feature in the Timeline. If you set a delay, you can set Motive to start recording after giving you a short amount of time to walk into the volume and T-Pose.
I hope this helps. If you have any additional question, please feel free to reach out to us at help.naturalpoint.com
Best,
Steven
