Mograph and mocap, like motionworks tut. any ideas?
Hello-
I have a BVH file and need to attach cubes to it. So it’s like a karate kicking cube guy. The newest Motionworks Making it look great 7, there is a tutorial that shows a guy running made out of blobs. Does anyone have any ideas on how to do this?? I am on a deadline and can’t afford the tutorial, plus I’d like to figure it out myself (and with the help of CC forums). If anyone has any ideas, even just a shot in the dark I could try, I would certainly appreciate it, I will be attempting this weekend and would agian, appreciate any ideas.thanks

Hi,
take one or more Tracer Objects and make them trace the joints of your BVH model. Select “Connect all objects” in the Tracing Mode option of the Tracer, you’ll get a moving spline roughly similar to the skeleton of your model (change the order of the joints in the Tracer if you are not satisfied). Create a cube, clone it with a Cloner object, set the Cloner to Object Mode, use the Tracer as Object. Have a look https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7jfb2OSnCU4Corrado

So what you are saying is that I need a null for each joint in my BHV file. Mine do not have that but I’m assuming that’s the case form what I have heard. If so is there an easy way to get a null attached to each one? I have tried copying keyframes which doesn’t work well. I have also tried retarget, which works if I take the bone out of the hierarchy before setting the retarget source, but that became tedious, it’ll work but if you have an easier way or another solution altogether. Please let me know. Thanks

No, you don’t need Null Objects, you can trace the joint (or the bones) directly, just drag them in the Tracer window. Let me know
