For Lab #1, we learned how to calibrate the MoCap system and create rigidbodies in our scene. Here’s the step-by-step:
CALIBRATE:
1. Open “MOTIVE”
2. ‘Mask Visible’ (click)
3. Get Wand out
4. ‘Start Wanding’ (click)
5. Get every camera over 10,000 samples
6. Hide wand in closet
7. ‘Calculate’ (click)– THIS WILL LET THE CAMERAS KNOW WHERE THEY ARE RELATIVE TO EACH OTHER
8. If ‘Excellent’ or ‘Exceptional’ hit ‘Apply’ (click)
9. SETTING GROUND PLANE— Get Ground Square– THIS WILL LET THE CAMERAS KNOW WHERE THE GROUND IS
10. Place Square facing door
11. ‘Set Ground Plane’ (click)

CREATE RIGIDBODIES
1. Throw a bunch of physical rigid body objects on the floor
2. Click-drag over set of 3 points
3. Click ‘Create Rigid Body’
4. Rename ‘Prop1’ or ‘Prop2’ etc
