FaceRig In order to start FaceRig, you have to doubleClick SteamLogin_FaceRig on the Desktop. Then you need to go to and select “FaceRigStudio Personal” Connecting with RunCam 2 (IP Camera) The RunCam2 Camera works like as if it is a WiFi-Router. The computer (be it a PC or a Mobile) will connect it as if it connects to a WLAN. Once it does, it will receive a IP-address (usually 129.168.1.10 - I dont think multiple device can connect).

NatNet2OSC Motive is sending its tracking data in its native NatNet - Protocoll. The NatNetThree2OSC application receives the NatNet datastream, translates it into an OSC format and passes it on as an UDP-stream to a chosen IP address and port. There are two different NatNet protocolls, and for each exists a different solution:
