Setup Rigid Body

Marker Placement

Setup a rigid body with markers or use one of the preconfigured ones. A rigid body should:

Have at least 3 reflectors

Reflectors should not be placed symetrical

Reflectors should not be just in one line (i.e. like the wand)

Create Rigid Body

Rigid Body Markers selected Selecting a Rigid Body

Place the rigid body on the center of the trackingspace so that all markers can be seen by the cameras.

In Motive, go to Menu > Layout > Create.

Select all reflectors of the rigid body in the perspective view and Right Click on the Markers > Rigid Body > Create from selected markers.

Rigid Body Properties

Once created, give the body a unique name and choose a unique Streaming ID.

Adjust some additional properties if necessary:

Smoothing: The higher the number, the smoother the movements - but also creates more latency

Max Deflection: The maximum distance, in millimeters, that a marker may deviate from its expected position before it is not considered as a part of the rigid body. Lower values creating a more accurate solve but with a higher risk of gaps in the data. Higher deflection settings can allow for more continuous data, but with the potential for less accuracy in the rigid body tracking.
