Choose a marker set

Choosing a marker set that is appropriate for your requirements is the first step in creating a subject in Shogun (for an overview, see Create subjects). Templates (labeling and solving) for these marker sets are supplied with the latest release of Shogun:

Marker set Description
FrontWaist Standard 53-marker set
FrontWaist10Fingers Standard marker set plus 10 finger-markers
FrontWaist3Fingers Standard marker set plus three finger-markers
FrontWaist5Fingers Standard marker set plus five finger-markers
Production Production marker set, which helps with marker occlusion and includes extra markers for the back and top of the shoulders to help with gap-filling and solving
Production10Fingers Production marker set plus 10 finger-markers
Production3Fingers Production marker set plus three finger-markers
Production5Fingers Production marker set plus five finger-markers
SideWaist Alternative standard marker set, which avoids front waist marker occlusion (useful if, for example, the front waist marker is likely to be occluded due to a performer's hands obstructing it or the performer bending forwards)
SideWaist10Fingers Standard marker set with side waist markers plus 10 finger-markers
SideWaist3Fingers Standard marker set with side waist markers plus three finger-markers
SideWaist5Fingers Standard marker set with side waist markers plus five finger-markers

For the most realistic finger animation, the 10 finger-marker set is recommended.

It is assumed that you are using one of Shogun’s default labeling templates. If you are using a different template, contact Vicon Support.

When you have chosen an appropriate marker set, the next step is to attach markers to the relevant actor (see Place markers on a performer). If you are working on a scene with multiple performers, see also Add labeling clusters to the datastore (optional).
