FBX Hand Model--

pehrlich 2014-06-02 22:09:12 UTC #1

Continuing the discussion from Please Help me...I feel like I have a simple question without a simple answer:

Are you looking extract the existing rigged-hand for use in your own project? Or to modify it and use it in your Leap app? We may be able to help.

Our process for FBX -> JSON is documented here, you may be able to reverse that to get an FBX.

I am also looking to do the same thing. We have been looking at different ways to produce some first person animations. We recently stumbled over the Leap Motion. We are wondering if it is possible to record this skeletal hand data into BVH format for use on our own custom models. If this is possible we will purchase the device for this intended use.

After looking at the documentation mentioned above I am still confused as this seems to just be for swapping models. What I am looking to do is record the data that is tracked for use to be used at a later time, preferably in a mecanim friendly format.

Hi D3K17

I took a look at the BVH spec, available here: http://research.cs.wisc.edu/graphics/Courses/cs-838-1999/Jeff/BVH.html

It seems like Leap Motion data definitely could be translated in to this format. Any conversion script would have to be written manually though.

Such a script would take in joint positions and bone lengths from our API, and calculate rotations from that. This data format is similar to what THREE.js and others libraries expect for rigged skeletons.

We do have existing motion-capture tools/formats, but they weren't made with BVH in mind. If there's enough demand, we could add an exporter, or we would also accept pull requests. (Of course, such a tool doesn't have to be written in javascript either.)

I also need this tool, it is very beneficial for animators.

Hi guys

We don't have the bandwidth at the moment to build such a converter tool, but the utility of such a thing is apparent!

If anyone's interested in building such a tool for the community at large, PM me, because we'd love to help/support.

Cheers,
