I have now removed everything and reinstalled iClone v5.11 pro, mocap v1.1 (MS beta) and MS kinect 1.0 beta2 SDK. Do I need to install anything else e.g the primesense driver to get the mocap working properly??

Please note I can get the mocap to work its just the character is not picking up turning motions (which the demo shows that it can http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CF8C2A1tKtg - 37 secs in)

Thank you for your help so far

I'm using IC5.12 and have been successful in using the XB360 Kinect with both the OpenNI and MS SDK BETA2. 

I did have to remove the OpenNI/PrimeSense driver packages from Program & Features (aka Add/Remove Programs) as well as the RL Mocap package before installing the RL MS SDK BETA2 Mocap package.  To switch back, I removed the Kinect related packages and the RL Mocap package.

Once I received the Windows Kinect devices that I ordered, I removed all the previous Mocap related packages, installed the RL Windows Kinect Mocap package which installed the retail MS SDK with success.

I've emailed support again as I did flag it to them 2 weeks ago so hopefully they'll have some developments.
Thank you for your help Peter

Thanks for clarifying.

I would advise contacting Support about this issue as they may have a solution. You should be able to use v5.12 with the Microsoft Kinect SDK Beta 2.

If you really want to drop back to v5.11 then you can do so but you will need to uninstall iClone5 first. You can then download the latest v5.1 installer from your Account and then only patch to v5.11.

I'm using a Kinect for Xbox sensor and Micorsoft Kinect SDK Beta. This is what the RL support told me to use and worked fine with v5.11 but then I lost the range of movement when I updated to v5.12

Which Kinect sensor and driver combination are you using?

Hi,

I updated to v5.12 and have now been unable to use the mocap to produce movements which involve the avatar moving in two planes (e.g. hopping, turning etc) is it possible to revert back to v5.11 as I was able to capture these movements in that?

Thanks

Hi Peter,

Firstly; thank you for taking the time to research and post responses to these questions.  May I suggest that you digest the relevant questions/answers into your "Kinect SDK & Driver Options Explained" thread (ex: sdk expiration). 

I see this new thread as being a "first-stop" thread to all that is KINECT.

Cheers,

A: Yes

A: This depends if Primesense update the Open NI SDK to support camera motor and head and wrist movement. If they do iClone will support it.

A: There are no limitations on this version in iClone. The Beta will expire on 16th June 2016. This is Microsofts Beta policy so Reallusion can't change it. Please reference: http://blogs.msdn.com/b/kinectforwindows/

A: Yes

A: Yes

A: Yes iClone will maintain compatability with all three mocap plugins.

A: Yes
