Rokoko Studio Beta - Isadora Data Streaming

emullis

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,

E.

Well, if it doesn't, I'll be in the dog house. ;-)

@decca. Hello,

what Isadora version you have ? Mac or pc? The is nothing on your signature to understand. I ask you this because it happens to me on the 327 b 20 on a mac un der Ventura if I don't put my Rokoko gloves on. I have a production this week so I can't be more specific but this has happened. And also the network part can be tricky if you have other devices to which you send data to fixed ip adresses.

More on that soon

@armando ok thanks.

As an update. I am using Windows 10. I have managed to get data across to Isadora using Rokoko Studio Legacy but not the current Rokoko Studio. So I know the link is working and network is open and not interfered by other software etc.As a last resort I would use R Legacy but I am having difficulty linking in the suit to Legacy (no problems in the current R Studio version). I have tested the Live Link between Rokoko Legacy and Isadora using prerecorded MC clips. I have installed the latest patch from the Isadora ( March 2023).I am using a Smartsuit Pro 2 with gloves.

I sent an email to Rokoko but a bit overwhelmed with their response and what that means - see below

"I understood that the LZ4 data is sent as a frame, which requires a "decompression context" in coordination with the function LZ4F_decompress(ctx, dstBuffer, dstBufferLen, srcBuffer, srcBufferLen, &decompressionOptions)."

They are following up they say. :(

You need the beta version of the Rokoko Studio Live Watcher in order to work with the new Rokoko Studio software I believe.

rokoko-studio-live-watcher-actors-v1.0.1.zip

@woland

Thank you for your time. I had installed the patch you mentioned. v1.0.1

What I found was the problem to be was - in the Isadora Plugins Folder, under the properties for the RokokoStudio Live Watcher, Skelton Decoder etc, the various .dll and .qtr files, their Attributes had been blocked by Windows 10 because "it was downloaded from another computer". I checked on the unblock option and hit apply and - magic - they are talking to each other.

Big thanks Isadora Community.

As an aside Rokoko tech support advised to use Json in Rokoko's Livestreaming. That was wrong for me. JsonLz4 worked not Json.They also advised to avoid Mac.....??

Thanks Again

Hi, could you help me how did you connect Rokoko and Isadora together? I followed all the steps from the tutorial but it is not streaming. if it is okay with you could you share the screenshot of how the nodes are connected?

Please let me know.

Thanks.

Hi!

To stream Rokoko data you need the Rokoko Studio software and a active subscription for their Plus software, this unlocks the capability of transmitting data to other programs. Isadora can then interface with that stream of data with the Rokoko actors that you can find in our software.

Happy to run you thru it, Rokoko has changed a couple steps with their latest software offerings

As I wrote in your ticket (just re-writing it here for the benefit of others) the instructions for this can be found by right-clicking the Rokoko Studio Live Watcher actor and selecting the top menu option "Show Actor Help in Browser". The actor's help text also says this (though it tells you to use the top menu, which is not my preferred method).
