hello,

im trying to stream from arena 1.7x to motionbuilder 2012

the optitrack optical plugin turned yellow and the marker names appeared there in the list.

but the InsightVCS plugin keeps going red.
at "device information" it gives 2 question marks but one "LicErr #6"

do i need to have 2 arena dongles ??

The InsightVCS plugin is a separate product that needs to be purchased, so, like Arena or Motive, needs to be tied to your USB dongle. The device is installed with the general plugin, but won't work without having that license file.

Thanks Bryan

i just realised that my Arena License is out of maintenance.

it still can be used, but im stuck with version 1.7.3 and cant use a later version.

will this prevent me from streaming a character to motionbuilder at all ?

i dont want to do object-tracking.. only body.
so vcs might be wrong anyway.. (?) i just followed that very well hidden tutorial video from ne naturalpoint website
