Optical Markers

Activate this option to convert optical markers contained in the file into dummy objects on import.

If you disable this option, the import process ignores this data.

Optical markers normally come from motion capture data, as a cloud of animated points or markers. The plug-in does not import the animation as the data type is incompatible. However, the plug-in converts optical data into a cloud of static dummy objects in 3ds Max.

Note If your optical data originates from MotionBuilder, you can set the state of all optical markers to “Done” in MotionBuilder. Setting the markers this way lets you import the animation data as curves in 3ds Max.
