Using Body Command Feature to Preview or Record (New for 5.1)

If you do not want to move back and forth between you and your computer for starting previewing or recording, then you may use the Body Command feature to trigger these two modes within the Mocap Device Plug-in. This is very useful when you need to capture your motions without any other people around to help you with controlling the Device Console panel of iClone.

1. Open the Mocap Device Plug-in panel and click the Connect button.
   
2. Go to iClone, select a character and open the Device Console (Shortcut: Shift + F8) panel. Click the Connect button to connect the Device Console to the Mocap Device Plug-in.
3. Go back to the Mocap Device Plug-in and activate the Body Command box.
   
4. The preview window of the Mocap Device Plug-in will instantly display Preview and Record hotspots.
   
5. Follow the standard steps for the Mocap Device Plug-in to calibrate your skeleton properly.
6. After the calibration countdown, you will see two hand icons that follow your hands as you move.
   
   • Move the right hand icon to touch the Preview hotspot and hold the pose for one second to start the previewing mode.
   • Move the left hand icon to touch the Record hotspot and hold the pose for one second to start the recording mode.
7. When you want to stop previewing or recording, then you may move both hand icons to touch the marks and hold the pose for one second; the previewing or recording mode will stop.
