Hello,
I am very new to AutoDesk Motionbuilder and I also have some problems with mapping the hand motion capture data to the hand of one of the characters that is already defined and characterizad in Autodesk Motionbuilder. As a character I am using Mia which I have characterized as described in one of the tutorials. Now I am trying to map the marker data of right hand to the Mia character's right hand. I have tried to use aim constraint but since for our data the hand change position it did not work as we want. Therefore I have tried to use position and rotation constraints together and I have tried to use mapping constraint as well. However, every time I tried the character's hand ended up with an unnatural position and I have not been able to move hand appropriately. I have no idea about what I should do to ressolve this problemand I would be glad if anyone can help me with this problem.
I am attaching the .fbx file from one of my mapping trials with mocap data and Mia character. I am also sending two sample mocap data one recorded with markers on the joints and one recorded with markers on the finger segments together with another .fbx file containing charcterized Mia charcter by itself.
There is no special reason for using character Mia. Only reason behind using a character rather than a skeleton is the assumption that we can analyze a caharacterized character's hand position using inverse kinematic tools in motioncapture. If there is any better way to simulate hand rather than using a character, any suggestion is very welcomed.
Best regards,
