Preparation​

On the Dollars MoCap Side​

In the Dollars MoCap settings, turn on the vvvv Streaming option. You can also change the port if needed.

On the vvvv Side​

On the vvvv side, the motion is received with the VL.DollarsMoCap package. For setup and usage, see the vvvv blog post Introducing DollarsMoCap.

Multi-person Mocap​

Each avatar's motion is streamed on its own port, starting from the configured port and counting up by avatar number.

For example, with the port set to the default 39939, avatar 0 streams on 39939, avatar 1 on 39940, and so on.

In vvvv, add a receiver for each of these ports to drive multiple characters at the same time.
