Wrist marker setup

Post by trahan »

Hello.
I have been getting decent tracking tests using a 6 camera setup in a small apartment.

I have to do a cigarette-lighting motion, and I am getting gapped data when I bring my hands up to my face. This happens because the 3rd wrist marker is mounted below the wrist, an area obscured by most body movement.
Is this a set configuration for arena? It would really help if the marker was on the top of the wrist.

I am using wall mounts.All cameras are basically at the same height-should I lower some of them?

thanks,
M

Just wanted to post a couple of pics.
The wall mounts are made from mini-tripods[color:#3333FF](the ball-head type)[/color] available at any camera store and brass wall brackets from the local hardware store. I bought six tripods at $9 each. Carefully unscrew the base and remove the legs and legmounts. Then use the screw to mount the ballhead onto the bracket. Quick and easy.

You are talking about the rigid body setup, on the back of the hand?

Oops. Sorry,my mistake.
I should have rotated the skeleton widard help screen �360.
I can now see the proper orientation of the wrist markers.
Hand tracking has improved.

Thanks
