Streaming data from Expression to Daz 3D

Hi there! We're having some trouble when streaming data from Expression to Daz 3D.

Here's some information about our camera setup and the capture process:

* We're using six cameras.
* The calibration results were fine (2 cameras reported "Excellent", 3 cameras reported "Great" and the last camera reported "Good").
* We're using a 41 marker configuration (37 + 4).
* The capture process went quite smooth: the cameras consistently captured 41 markers during most of the recoding time (sometimes they would capture 40 for briefs periods of time).

We've managed to successfully connect Expression to Daz 3D and followed the calibration wizard in order to assign the different captured frames asked by Daz 3D to a female model (the one that comes by default with the program). Nonetheless, once the calibration wizard is over, we get pretty weird results in the DAZ 3D's female model such as shaky eyes or an abnormal mouth. Has anyone experienced a similar situation? If so, how did you manage to solve it?

Many thanks for your replies.

Cheers,

--Nacho

Did you ever figure this out? I'm having problems even calibrating expression, how did you do it?

put the 3-4 mm facial markers on the wand and calibrate with that, wand slow and steady, make sure you camera fustrums cross where your head is (you need to see the wand in two cams at once)

Hope that helps
Good luck, (Ive got it working keep at it)
