I'd like to constrain one hand to the other so that one is driving the IK handle of the other, but I'm having trouble overriding the "child" arms animation. Does anyone have any advice in how I would set this up? I also need to be able to keyframe its influence so that the hands can separate for parts of the animation and be driven by existing keyframes. Thanks a bunch AaronC 2012-05-10T16:41:48+02:00 http://area.autodesk.com/forum/autodesk-motionbuilder/mocap/character-face-custom-shapesexpressions-+-facial-motion-capture/page-last/ http://area.autodesk.com/forum/autodesk-motionbuilder/mocap/character-face-custom-shapesexpressions-+-facial-motion-capture/page-last/#When:00:51:20Z Is there any way to use any custom shapes and/or expressions beyond the generic "mouth open, whistle, corners up, corners down, etc" expressions and have them be driven by mocap markers? Using just the generic ones gives such bland and boring results. 2012-04-03T00:51:20+02:00 http://area.autodesk.com/forum/autodesk-motionbuilder/mocap/use-the-ipad-as-a-virtual-camera-for-motionbuilder/page-last/ http://area.autodesk.com/forum/autodesk-motionbuilder/mocap/use-the-ipad-as-a-virtual-camera-for-motionbuilder/page-last/#When:04:43:03Z Hey guys. So long time reader, first time poster. I am having SO MUCH FUN using off the shelf tools like the kinect with motion builder and now I see that you can use the iPad as a secondary display for windows (air display). So I have a multipart question. First, is there a one ap solution that will turn my ipad into a virtual camera with realtime playback in motionbuilder? Second, Air display allows the ipad to be a wireless monitor for the pc, is there a script/program that can tap into the accelerometer on the ipad and drive the camera using that? Finally, is there any available tools that use existing devices like the wiimote to drive a camera in motionbuilder? (no markered tracking please) A last resort would be straping a wiimote to an ipad, but it kills me to know that the ipad is capable of doing it on its own. I'm not much of a scripter. Please help! THANKS! 2012-03-25T04:43:03+02:00 http://area.autodesk.com/forum/autodesk-motionbuilder/mocap/motionbuilder-camera-preferences/page-last/ http://area.autodesk.com/forum/autodesk-motionbuilder/mocap/motionbuilder-camera-preferences/page-last/#When:01:08:36Z I had another couple quick questions for anyone really familiar with Motionbuilder cameras and settings. First, is there a way to get the camera to follow the actor when streaming live Mocap data? Secondly, I'm a Max user, so is there a way to set the middle mouse button to zoom in/out? I already have the keyboard layout changed to 3DS Max, which is nice, but the middle mouse button still doesn't zoom like in Max. 2012-02-27T01:08:36+02:00 http://area.autodesk.com/forum/autodesk-motionbuilder/mocap/mocap-data-to-skeleton/page-last/ http://area.autodesk.com/forum/autodesk-motionbuilder/mocap/mocap-data-to-skeleton/page-last/#When:15:44:48Z Please Help. I am attempting to create a quadruped skeleton for a dog. I tried taking a dog skeleton from Quidam and importing it to Motion Builder to create animation, but every attempt I either lose the skeleton or the skeleton gets all jumbled up. I am exporting in FBX format. Has anyone else had similar problems with importing FBX quadruped skeletons? I have also heard from my professor that there is a way to take existing motion capture data and convert it into a skeleton in Motion Builder 2012. Can anyone point me in the general direction of this feature, because I found some free Mocap online that I could utilize? Thanks for any help you can offer. 2012-02-22T15:44:48+02:00 http://area.autodesk.com/forum/autodesk-motionbuilder/mocap/cannot-undo-optical-data-key-deletion/page-last/ http://area.autodesk.com/forum/autodesk-motionbuilder/mocap/cannot-undo-optical-data-key-deletion/page-last/#When:08:52:31Z I have some C3D data im trying to clean in Motionbuilder 2012 x64. 1) I double click the C3D:Optical root node in the scene to get the optical workbench up. 2) Create various rigid bodies for the head / arm / hips etc.... 3) Begin to search through the data for 'black bits', at which point I find the bad marker, and I either split segment before , then after, then delete the bad segment, or simply drag select the bad frames, right click and delete keys. [b]But there is no way to undo these actions!!!! [/b] Please will someone explain to me how I can undo these actions... when I CTRL+Z it simply selects another marker, when I click back it hasnt undone. I've looked on the Mobu help on: http://download.autodesk.com/global/docs/motionbuilder2012/en_us/ and no where does it say that this is one of the undoable actions.... 2012-02-22T08:52:31+02:00 http://area.autodesk.com/forum/autodesk-motionbuilder/mocap/motionbuilder-facial-animation/page-last/ http://area.autodesk.com/forum/autodesk-motionbuilder/mocap/motionbuilder-facial-animation/page-last/#When:20:45:46Z hi, I am a beginner on animation( I have no idea about 3d animation), I working on motionbuilder 2012 and I have a character that I am trying to control his face but when I select the face and alt drag it to the mapping list in the character face asset I get no shapes(mouth up,down,...)under the shapes tab !!! so is there any tutorial to teach me how to do this stuff !!! thanks 2012-01-25T20:45:46+02:00 http://area.autodesk.com/forum/autodesk-motionbuilder/mocap/does-anyone-has-this-problem-when-use-kinect-to-do-mocap/page-last/ http://area.autodesk.com/forum/autodesk-motionbuilder/mocap/does-anyone-has-this-problem-when-use-kinect-to-do-mocap/page-last/#When:14:08:55Z problem picture URL http://dl.dropbox.com/u/42630091/01.jpg Does anyone has this problem? the arm seem to rotate 90 degree....but i don't know the reason? when i apply this model to imported animation...its perform perfectly... so....i think bone mapping is correct?right? but if i use kinect to capture motion....this problem will occur.... here is my MotionBuilder file http://dl.dropbox.com/u/42630091/mia_blue_temp.fbx please...please help~ 2012-01-23T14:08:55+02:00 http://area.autodesk.com/forum/autodesk-motionbuilder/mocap/best-facial-motion-capture-/page-last/ http://area.autodesk.com/forum/autodesk-motionbuilder/mocap/best-facial-motion-capture-/page-last/#When:20:31:52Z Hello I am considering of buying OptiTrack sensors with Arena Expression software and whole bundle is 8000 $ which is not really too much for a good mocap system BUT my question is:Is it really good for facial expessions and why should I buy it if I can buy ZingTrack 2 which is way way cheaper.Please could somewhone tell me the difference in those two except the huge difference in dollars :-D Also what is the difference between MotionBuilder and Softimage Face Robot for doing facial mocaps.Which one is better?
