It's the Maya preset. Before clicking on convert button , you must have the same T-pose as the 3dxchange T-pose.

Watching the video on Youtube " Iclone Live Mocap with Perception Neuron " it seems so easy and straight forward that I bought the Iclone6 Pro version 6.3 straight away...  I know there is no problem with my Perception Neuron ( I have a neuron full body motion )... Axis Neuron version 3.5.24.  The suit works perfectly without Iclone6 Pro 6.3.. I have a USB connecting the suit to my PC. I followed all the steps in Settings - Broadcasting ... ( TCP window ) - BVH - Port 7001     On Output Format - BVH data- Frequency Reducing 1 ----- Block type- Binary ----- Rotation - YXZ ----- Displacement Box tick. To acsses the Animation interface I am not using the Modify Character > Animation > Device Mocap window.... instead I am using Top Menu > Animation > Device Mocap. When I press connect I get a Iclone Reminder window with the message " Load Device Mocap Plug-in Failed. Please check that your Mocap device plug-in is operating correctly ....."  

They say I could download The Neuron Mocap Plug-in Beta but when I try the link  http://iclone.neuronmocap.com I get a DNS error... I tried to change browsers, I have flushed my DNS, changed my DNS server address but no luck. I know others are experiencing the same problem. Do I have to have that specific plug in to make Iclone6 Pro "talk" to Axis Neuron? I've noticed in the Iclone6 Pro the options to chose the Neuron Plugin is not even showing. It should be somewhere between Window and Help button on the Menu bar but there is nothing there.

Sorry you are having problems when I know you really want to get into the thick of it. You do need to download the plugin. The page is missing for me too. They must have moved it. Also, it is not as simple as just having the install file. You will also need a SN#, I would send them a support ticket. and if you haven't heard anything by midday on Monday, call them.

Haha, oh gosh...is it? I think I created one manually, because I didn't know that...lol. Oh well...I suppose I learned something along the way. ;) 

I'm sorry to hear you're having so many problems. :( 
I will vouch and say though...that it does work. I know that doesn't make your situation any easier, but just know that once you figure out the hurdle you're at -- you'll be set to go. 
I'm assuming that since they've been working with the mocap plugin beta, that things may be getting shuffled around...hence the page not showing up. I've been lucky enough to meet the Reallusion guys at Siggraph last year, and they're good people -- so I'm sure they'll get your issue resolved if you end up needing to contact them. :)

Hey folks,

I am now forced to use 3DXchange to bring my data from Axis into iClone, but I seem to be having some problems in 3DXchange. Can someone outline in detail the steps required. Pretend I know nothing about 3DXchange.

Here's what I have done: Export the BVH data from Axis with rotation YXZ and displacement enabled.
Load data into 3DXchange.
Click Convert to Non-Standard
Select Preset Maya Human-IK




Enable Active then select 00_Tpose (I GET THIS)



I didn't have to know that clicking convert wasn't going to give me the proper results, but I clicked anyway and I was right.

So what am I doing wrong? For one, it would appear that the skeleton is rotated at the hip.

Cheers,

Sterling

May if you click on the " Align to ground" before converting it helps.... 

So I seem to have worked out a few things, but when the performer's hands are on a table (should be at rest not moving) and the upper body moves, the hands seem to move a little bit on the Avatar in iClone. Does anyone know a way to lock the hands into position for a specified number of frames and then unlock them to continue using the mocap when the performer actually moves his/her hands?

I too can not get my 32 neuron suite to work with I-clone. I am running on windows 10 and perception neuron does not seem to broadcast. I followed all the suggestions. I have the pro version of axis neuron.  I have the newest version of I-clone 6.4. Every time I open the plugin the record and preview buttons are grayed out and locked. Any suggestions what to try? I have update/ uninstalled and reinstalled both axis and I-clone about two times each. I make sure the "use old headers" box is checked. Nothing I try seems to fix it. 

So I figured I could at least take the motion files into 3d exhange and use them that way. However, I can't apply the motions to the existing figure. It say figure does not match , it also says  convert to non standard. If I try this  won't let me set bones. both legs seem to be opposite.  Any suggestions would be welcome.

For starters, are you launching the plugin from the plugin dropdown menu?

Make sure your character in iClone is selected when you are trying to sync with Axis

Sometimes, I have had to play the mocap in Axis for the preview or record button to become active.

As for 3DXchange, you load the BVH in and then click convert to non-standard. next you may have to rotate the hip bone, depending on which way your real actor was facing when you recorded the mocap. Rotate so that the skeleton is facing the camera in 3DXchange. Now select the Maya preset and click on Active. You should have recorded your mocap with a t-pos at the start. Next to the actove button make sure t-pose is selected in the dropdown (default). And click CONVERT.

Next make sure your character is selected in iClone and then under the list of Animations window, click "add to iclone"

Hope that helps.
