Marker to Marker Distance for Virtual Markers

[Bob Cieri]

It would be very useful to be able to view Marker to Marker distances between a virtual point and a digitized point in the Plot window.

Hi Bob,

Even if that feature might be useful in certain cases it will be extremely difficult to implement at the moment and as most people do not use virtual points i would recommend you to use Maya for it.. I am also not sure how much information you can get out of it as the virtual marker is animated by the Rigid body itself.

However, if we decide to change the structure of XMALab and the way how virtual points are handled I will reopen the issue.

Sorry, Ben

[Bob Cieri]

Thanks. Do you know how to look at distances between points in Maya?

It might be useful to others because often the virtual point is on a different rigid body than the rigid body being animated by it. It is useful to check error of a rotoscoped bone also.

Thanks

Bob

Hi Bob,

I am not an expert in Maya. Maybe ask Dave Baier.
