About LinkBacksHere is a challenging one. I have a project wheree I need to get
motion capture data taken in real time to animate a caracter right on the screen in the 3DS Max UI. I can import motion capture data but I have
not found a way to get the motion capture caputre equipment directly
connected up with 3DS max UI. Is there any way to do this?
Any hints, help, resources, advices, or solutions are very appreciated!
Anyone done something like that ever before? Heard of anyone doing this?
Any idea????
Let me know !

Re: 3DS and Motion Capture
Never done real time myself, have done a mixture of importing of BVH and key framing. Let us know how this turns out, sorry I couldn't offer any good advice, what MC hardware are you using?

Re: 3DS and Motion Capture
He Allusionist - thanks for trying... the hardware is yet to be finalized (as well) can't go ahead before I have the software solution fully solved. Visited Siggraph a while back and got to know all the MC vendors!
What's BVH?

Re: 3DS and Motion Capture
Lina, you can use various device to capture the motion and using that inside 3dsmax in real time. Starting from mouse, joystick and other device can be used. if you want to know where to find that in 3ds max UI let me know, i will explain that to you.
BVH stand for BioVision TM motion-capture format data. These files can have motion data of the person's skeletal and limb motion and rotation.

General help
The MGC Chatbox Evo is really easy to use
You can :

- Send chats : you just have to enter the text in the dedicated input field and then to validate it by pushing the return key ou by clicking on the OK button.

You can format a chat by selecting a part (or the totality) of it and then select one of the buttons/list. You can also add empty formatting tags by selecting nothing and clicking one of the buttons/menu thus allowing you to add the chat text afterwards between these tags.*
- Access to the different channels : you can have access to different channels restricted to only some usergroupds or for specifics use of the chatbox. The different channels are accessible from the buttons on the left of the chatbox.*

- Use specific commands : some commands can be accessible in the chatbox depending on the will of the administrator(s) of your forum. These commands let you execute specific actions of formatting, management, etc... You will herebelow the information on the command which are accessible to you. You must notice that you are not forced to use the command prefixes (/command_name) when you use them in the channel they are attached to (except in the general channel).*
