Hi, I'm new here and recently bought a TrackIR 4 Pro to try and enhance my animation workflow within Softimage XSI.

I managed to use it "in a way", but am unable to integrate it properly into XSI as there are no drivers. I've also never written a driver in my life.

The only way I've been able to use it so far for realtime animation input is by swapping the unit to 'mouse control' and to drive a 3D object's rotation in two axes using Input Channels, but that means I'm not using the full capabilities. This device really has a lot of applications for animation at a very affordable price.

Does anyone have any tips so I can get to use all of the axes within my 3D app? I am willing to give writing a driver a go using the SDK, but have no idea where to start.

Thanks for taking the time to read.

Cheers,
Jim.

Someone sent me a Private Message, but when I go to my Inbox there's absolutely nothing there I'm afraid If you want to be more direct you can send me an email to jimmy5191 AT aol DOT com

You can download the latest OptiTrack SDK from the following location, as well as sample code.

Thanks Vincent.

Does that work with TrackIR?

Jim.

You can use the TrackIR with the Optitrack SDK - we just don't have any support for that situation.
