      Currently I am working with an artist in the UK and we each purchased Rokoko Smartsuit Pro a couple of years ago in order to use the Rokoko Studio software to send mocap data to Isadora, and we've discovered that the new version of their software (Rokoko Studio Beta) doesn't yet have the option under "Livestream" to send data to Isadora. (Though using their Rokoko Studio Legacy software is still a stable and viable option for this.)

      I'd like to encourage anyone in our community who has used or wants to use Rokoko products for sending mocap data to Isadora to:

      • Periodically check the Rokoko Product Roadmap to see if they've added an item for Isadora 3 integration with Rokoko Studio Beta (and upvote it if it's there)
      • Send in a feature request to Rokoko politely asking them to add the option under "Livestream" to send data to Isadora frin their Rokoko Studio Beta software (as you could in their Rokoko Studio Legacy software).
      • Join the Rokoko Discord and, in the "-feature-request" channel, respectfully ask for the option under "Livestream" to send data to Isadora from their Rokoko Studio Beta software.

      Please understand that I am not encouraging anyone to be angry with or to go annoy Rokoko about this, I simply want to make sure that Rokoko knows that members of our community would like the ability to use their mocap products with Isadora again. Ask @mark always says, "The squeaky wheel gets the grease." ;)


      If you're unfamiliar with Rokoko's mocap hardware and software, you may want to check out Mark's Guru session on how to use the Rokoko Smartsuit Pro to send live motion capture data from a performer to Isadora and use that data to do many interesting things. 

      Other existing (free!) resources concerning using mocap/motion capture, body/skeleton tracking, motion tracking, sensor/controller/OSC/MIDI data, and/or 3D workflows with Isadora include:

          Kinda related: The left foot sensor on my Smartsuit stopped working and it looks like I need to get a repair kit to replace it. Anyone had any experience with that?

               I'm working with an artist in the UK and his suit had a sensor die. I can't remember exactly what happened, but I do know that he contacted Rokoko support about it and they're helping him.

                An update:

                I received this from Luke Cresante (Sr. Product Specialist at Rokoko) about adding Isadora to the live streaming options in the new version of Rokoko Studio:

                -------------
                Hi There,

                Thank you a ton for being a customer and sharing your feedback on Isadora!
                We are currently working with their team to adjust the plugin to fit our new data model. Unfortunately, we do not have a timeline on this.
                -------------

                Can anyone confirm this? Based on what's on their website, the Legacy version of Rokoko Studio will be phased out in August of this year. Oof!

                  They've essentially said the same thing to me. Hopefully if they hear from enough of us they'll add the feature back in.

                    Well, according to them we should update our Plugin to their new data model.

                      thank you for the updates. Are there plans to update the Rokoko Studio Live Watcher? I know you have a lot on your plate! Please let me know if I can help in any way! I would love to continue this work: 

                      Best,

                      EM

                         As I said in reply to your other post:

                        Given that my partner will be using the Rokoko for a project starting in mid-March, you can rest assured there will be a solution by then. ;-)

                        It's just a bit complicated because they don't give you the points in the way they used to. I've got some math to figure out.

                        Best Wishes,

                          Oh my goodness, I'll be able to sleep tonight. I received a grant to buy two new suits and got very worried that I wouldn't be able to stream to Izzy come August. Thank you so much for working on it, and I hope your partner's project goes great.

                          Best,
