Order of Calibration Steps
Check Posture
- Check from the side when the actor is standing in a normal, relaxed stance. Adjust hips, then back, then head.
- Check from the front, adjusting for twist.
Check Arms
- Ask the actor to extend arms straight out to the sides, thumbs pointing out (down z axis). Adjust arm scales until just before the arms begin to bend
- Ask the actor to bend elbows so that arms from an "L" shape, hands up (parallel to y axis). If the model's upper and lower joints are not nearly perpendicular, adjust appropriate shoulder's x translation offset. You can also adjust the arm's sensor rotations.
- Ask the actor to put arms straight out in front. If hands are not even, adjust shoulder's Y translation offset.
- Ask the actor to put hands together in front of chest in a prayer position. Adjust X, Y, and Z translations of shoulder offsets until hands line up. Adjust wrist X, Y, and Z rotations as well.
Check Legs
- Ask the actor to do knee-bends as described above. Adjust scale, Y translation of Offset3 filter, and Y rotation offset of leg sensors.
- Ask the actor to raise each leg (one at a time) so that upper leg is parallel to floor (straight out in front), and lower leg is perpendicular to floor (and upper leg). Adjust Y rotation offset of leg sensors.
- Ask the actor to stand straight. Adjust X and Z rotations of leg sensors to pull the character's legs apart or pull them together as necessary, and to adjust (from side) the ankle positions from front to back.
