Hello Guys,

I am using a Vicon motion capture device that tracks the position of retro-reflective nodes which are worn by actors.

The native file from the Vicon system is in *.C3D.

I was wondering if it is possible to convert positional data (*.c3d) into volumetric data (eg. STL, IGES or STEP) for modelling in  Solidworks?

The Vicon capture device also exports positional data as a vfile (*.v); filmbox (*.fbx); camera calibrated file (*.CP); or as a threshold table (*.rtt).

Of these, the *.fbx is recognised by Autodesk Maya but I have not tried this. The preference would be to convert directly from *.c3d into *.stl for modelling.

Does anyone know of any plug-ins or convertors or third party software? Thank you.

Yours sincerely,

Eujin
