Never played with this, so today I wanted to try the "Hand Gestures Puppeteering", but watching RL video tutorial I figured out there is no "Plugins/Python Samples" menu. Their tutorial doesn't specify anyting about this, and in the iClone Online Manual there are no references about Python whatsoever Sad

So, can anybody tell me how to properly install such "Python Samples"?
Thanks!

OK, I'm replying the (UGLY) solution I've found:

1 - In windows explorer, I was looking where Popcorn FX Sequencer is located - a subfolder of \iClone 7\Bin64\OpenPlugin folder
2 - exited the iClone
3 - manually copied the downloaded/expanded Hand_Gestures_Puppeteering folder in this OpenPlugin folder
4 - started iClone - surprise! Now there was a Python Samples menu under Plugins menu, containing the "Hand Gestures Puppeteering".

Now, seriously, RL, you could have update your online manual... Sad

Later Edit: I've just found that this was exactly the recommended solution, in Product Description (had to click Show Detail in order to reveal it)

You are right. And it is not actually an ugly solution -  it is how it is supposed to work. Smile
Python plugins themselves create the menu structure under "Plugins" during plugin initialization phase. So, the menu won't exist until some plugin has been initialized and it explicitly checks for "Python Samples" submenu and creates it if it didn't already exist.
