How can I import in iClone 8 mocap files from Optitrack, which have two actors performing?

If you are using Motion Live you can find instructions on the page HERE (scroll down the page).

Hi, sorry I was a bit unclear!

I have few mocap fbx captured with Optitrack and I would like to import them to iClone 8 for cleaning and retargeting. However iClone does not recognize the files at all…

Is there any method/conversion for importing them to iClone?

Thanks!

I have an older Optitrack system that I export bvh files from and import into iClone via 3DXchange. It involves setting up the skeleton profile in 3DXchange to get the motion into iClone. I can give you a more detailed explanation if this sounds helpful.

Hi Tim,
Just curious but why are you still using the older 3DX app to parse your optitrak mocap data for Iclone ?
Does this allow you to avoid having to buy the motion live plugin for IC8 as they are using for optitrack here:

Hi Auroratrek,

many thanks for your answer, it would be very helpfull to get the detailed explanation of 3DXchange pipeline. I have the mocap exports at the moment in fbx, but I can try to get them in bvh if that´s the only option for this workaround? Do I have to set up a skeleton profile for each take separately?

Can Motion Live plugin also used for importing the fbx files in iClone?
