To create and define a Marker set with magnetic data:
In the Viewer window, yellow markers containing magnetic motion data display as they were captured on the performer.
Ideally, the markers should be in a T-stance facing the positive Z-axis. When capturing motion data, you should always start or end your take with the performer in a T-stance facing the positive Z-axis.
The name “Actor” appears in the Actors folder of the Scene browser, the Actor Settings display in the Navigator window, and a gray model displays in the scene.
By default, the first Marker set you create is named “Marker Set 1” in the Marker Set field. Additional Marker sets are numbered in sequential order.
As you drag markers into the Actor representation, white markers representing the Marker set appear around the yellow magnetic sensors in the Viewer window. The cells in the Actor representation display the number of markers affecting each body part, and the names of the sensors appear in the Object(s) List.
The Actor is active, and the position of the sensors match the Actor’s body parts. The Marker set links the sensors and the Actor, letting the Actor move using the magnetic motion data.
The mapping process is easy, but correctly tuning the Actor requires experience and intuition, especially if you do not remember exactly where the magnetic sensors were positioned on your performer. It is recommended that you keep a photographic record of your captures, and load an image of your performer in the Viewer window background to see the position of the sensors.
