Hello all,

There have been a few questions in the past few months, so I just wanted to give a *very* quick and dirty explanation of how to connect Isadora to Rokoko Studio in order to get tracking data from the Rokoko Smartsuit Pro/Pro II and Smart Gloves.

Setup Steps: 

Download and install IsadoraIf you don't have an Isadora license and want to be able to save your work, purchase an Isadora LicenseNote: There are short-term and long-term options for licenses. Check the store for more details.Download and install Rokoko Studio from Rokoko's website.Note: This software is what collects the live data from the suit/glovesGet a Rokoko Plus subscription so that you can stream the data to Isadora from the Rokoko Studio Software.Get your suit/gloves connected to your WiFi and ensure they show up in Rokoko StudioNote: If you are having trouble, feel free to consult:Rokoko's Onboarding Essentials YouTube playlistRokoko's help articlesDownload the Rokoko Studio Live Watcher Add-On, unzip it, and follow the setup steps inside to connect Rokoko Studio to IsadoraNote: If you are having trouble, feel free to consult Rokoko's article on connecting Rokoko Studio to Isadora.

The JS actor does not have any drawing abilities. It can create streams of numbers for animation, that you would feed to a Shapes actor or Lines actor. But can't create polygons directly.

Hi L,

A 3d model file of a Brain neuron, decimated for use in Isadora with rights approval from https://eyewire.org - Not a waveform but a great asset associated with brain anatomy. Let me know if you are interested.

@juriaan thanks boxes have priorities too !

I have logged this as a feature request in the ticket system.

Best wishes,

Hi Russell, thank you very much. Both apps work fine, TouchOSC is easy to program, stable and reliable. GyrOSC works as well but the sensors are very sensitive even with the smoother at max.I was thinking of using it for motion captures the range of the Kinect and Orbbec sensors is very limited.

Will keep you posted, Hendrik

To illustrate what the others are saying, here's a gif that shows how the Gate will only allow values through that while it is "on".

As Michel said, when you turn a Gate on, it does not automatically push a value from the input if that value is just static.

@bill-cottman

No problem. Mutability gets a bit tricky where User Actors/Macros are involved. Once you know the trick about forcing things to mutate, it's easy though.

Best wishes,

Woland
