Live Characters plugin

[Frank Verberne]

How do I know if MotionBuilder has focus? It is the only program running on that computer, so I think it won't be able to get more focus than it already has.

By the way, the motion of the actor in MotionBuilder itself is updated like it should ben (as is the motion of the avatar attached to it in MotionBuilder). Only the motion of the avatar from the Vizard script that connects to the Live Characters server isn't updated. So MotionBuilder is active while connecting through it with Vizard. And the server of the Live Character plugin in MotionBuilder is online (green square), but I cannot select the Live option.

The LiveCharacter plugin does not need to use the Live option since it is an output plugin. You just need to select the character and go Online.

Try looking at the Communication tab of the LiveCharacter device. When your Vizard script connects does the computer IP address show up in the Clients list?

After adjusting some things, I got the plugin to work and I now know what the problem was!

I use VNC-viewer to remotely control the pc where the Vizard script is running on. When I closed the VNC-viewer after activating the Vizard script, the problem was solved. I also adjusted the stream rate from 60.00 to 30.00. I don't know if that matters anything. Nevertheless, the problem is solved!

Hi!
Is it also possible to have MotionBuilder not as the active window and still get the motions of the character in Vizard? (we are running MotionBuilder and Vizard on the same machine)
