Im exploring motion capture with Xbox Kinect and watch the tutorial on using FBX file to transfer to species rig. I'm having issues when setting up the motor tagging for the imported FBX rig generated from the Brekel Pro Body capture. This rig does not have some of the same controls as the species rig.

Is there a work around for setting up the tagging?

Thanks,

Chance Norris

Hi Chance,

The preset tag file for our Species AnimRig was simply generated using Motor's own tagging controls.  It was just our interpretation of which controls fit each body part the Motor tag ppg asks for ( cog, spineroot, chest, etc. ).  You can create your own tag file for the imported FBX rig by selecting the top model null and going to Animate>Tools>MOTOR>Tag Rig.  It will be up to you to decide which of the controls on that rig fit best with Motor's rig structure.  I can certainly give you pointers, but I'd need more specific names of the controls of your imported FBX rig.

Hope that helps!

-Chris

Hi Chris,

I made a screen shot of the FBX rig and attached to post. Any pointers would be greatly appreciated.
