Follow Markers
Posted: Mon Mar 14, 2016 10:50 am
Hello All,
I am trying to create a volume sweep of a model's movement, and that requires me to have the position of every marker at every time step in the .mot file. However, as far as I have seen, you can't obtain a record of marker positions - only bodies. (I thought I had found a way to find marker positions earlier, but it turned out to only be returning body positions instead.)
Are there any commands - preferably in Matlab - to fetch a particular marker's position at a given time? My impression thus far is that the API is only good for accessing a static model, where you can't really load a motion or step through it in the way I'd imagine is necessary for this analysis (similar to how you can analyze an AVI in Matlab frame-by-frame). If this isn't possible, what are some other possibilities for obtaining a volume sweep of a particular motion? Are there any addons or plugins that can do this?
Thanks!
