motion capture

[supermuffin]

Hello

I have a mocap file with markers, no joints (a TRC file)
How do transfer the animation to my character?
How do I need to rig my character?

Hello supermuffin. You should be able to achieve animation transfer with Character Retargeting. Retargeting is covered in the Trax training kit

Another option is to use the markers as constraints on your character's skeleton to drive it. Take care.

Hello Sunder
Thank you for your respond.
Yes, I know about that one.
But that does does not work for point motion capture i.e when you have locators instead of joints in your mocap file.

I was looking for a way to retarget points. The points only have translation and the joints on my character have rotation.

I was thinking if I can use constraints to the joints, but not sure how to go about it..
