Motive 1.7 - How to set rigid body pivot from marker?

Post by bteitler »

In previous versions of Motive, I could select a rigid body and a marker (holding shift to select both), and then I'd have the option to set the pivot to that marker if I right clicked. This option seems to be missing now. It is a pretty critical option for me as my rigid bodies have key markers that aid in calibration of correct pivots. Is there some way to do it in 1.7 that I am missing?

Thanks.

Hello,

This option is still available in Motive 1.7. I tested and confirmed:

This will not work on 2D data, you will need to trajectorize the data.

That image doesn't show up for me - sorry. I don't know what you mean by 2D data - I am using the 3D Perspective View in "Create" mode like I did in previous versions. Before, you could set a marker to be the pivot, and it seems you can't now. There is no notion of "trajectorizing" for my work, as I am doing real time streaming for Virtual Reality applications, and this was never required before.
