Documentation Reference Guide → For Visual3D Users
This page contains useful information for users who are outputting motion capture data from Motive into Visual3D.
For more information on Visual3D: C-Motion wiki
Streaming tracking data into the Visual3D requires 2-step pipelines. Motive streams tracking data first into the Visual3D Server, and then from this application the data is streamed into Visual3D.
When streaming into Visual3D Server, set the stream Visual3D Compatible to true in the Data Streaming Pane. This will modify the axis of the streamed data. This setting is configured as the advanced setting by default. Click Show Advanced to bring up this setting.
Advanced Settings
The For Visual3D Users contains advanced settings that are hidden by default. Access these settings by going to the menu on the top-right corner of the pane and clicking Show Advanced and all of the settings, including the advanced settings, will be listed under the pane.
The list of advanced settings can also be customized to show only the settings that are needed specifically for your capture application. To do so, go the pane menu and click Edit Advanced, and uncheck the settings that you wish to be listed in the pane by default. One all desired settings are unchecked, click Done Editing to apply the customized configurations.
Please refer to Visua3D docmentation for more information about the receiving streamed data in visual 3D. For more info: Visual3D Server to Visual3D.
The following pipeline commands can be used in Visual3D to accommodate systematic synchronization offset frames between recorded mocap tracking data and another data. Save and import these commands into the Visual3D pipeline dialogue to execute the commands. For more information on Visual3D pipeline commands, refer to the c-motion wiki (https://www.c-motion.com/v3dwiki/index.php/Visual3D_Pipeline).
