Unwanted Jiggles in Legs -- Help Please :)

Post by jasonweeks »

Hi, I am having a problem with some leg jiggling when importing the Actor inside of Motion Builder. We are smoothing and cleaning up the motions inside of Arena. Once we are done and they look good, we export FBX into MotionBuilder, but we seem to get some unwanted noise some of the time that isn't in Arena. Mostly we get a leg or arm that starts to jiggle/shake on a few keyframes. We are spending way too much time trying unsuccessfully to fix this jiggling... please help! Here is our setup.

12 camera setup / Calibrated with 3 marker wand
1.6.100 Final version of Arena
2011 MotionBuilder

P.S. We can't stream into MB until the 2011 version is released. -- Hint Hint!!

Also, maybe an easier question, I'd like know if there is a way to export the motioncapture snapped to whole frames instead of inbetween.

Thanks,
Devero

Hi Devero,

If you assign markerset to actor manually instead of using the actor exported by the arena, does it reduce the jitter?

If you can send your arena files(.pt2, .pt3, and .skl) and your motionbuilder files to support@naturalpoint.com, we can take a look.
