Post subject: | Why are rigs exported sideways? |
Hello! I've been using ipisoft for a few weeks for motion capture and I've been very pleasantly surpised at how intuitive and straightforward the process has been. I wanted to build a custom rig, since the ones ipi mocap studio can export don't quite match my needs. Namely, I needed to acommodate longer limbs, slightly change the column curvature, and add a few extra bones for clothing physics. But when I went to edit mode, the rig looked like this: ![]() If I do "fix" the armature and set it so it properly resembles the resting T pose so I can work with it, then the rig breaks when trying to import it to ipi mocap studio: appendages looking at opposite directions no matter the orientation, the character being below ground, etc. The solution I guess would be to export the animation with a default rig, then to retarget it to the desired rig with whichever editing software. But I'm afraid in the future I may want to use different armature inside ipi studio, and I'll be facing the same problem. Does anyone have a workaround, or any advice at all? Much appreciated. |

Hi, based on what you say the issue may be caused by difference in coordinate systems. First, when you import your rig, initial frame should contain T-Pose. In this case auto-detection of coordinate system may be possible. Also, there are "Orientation" control in a Motion Transfer Profile section of Target Character tab. You can try to use "Auto" button to auto-detect coordinate systems, or change asix directions manually. If none of this help, there may be some incompatibility as we only have basic built-in motion transfer features. Specialized motion transfer software should be used for more complicated rigs. |
