After, go to the viewport. Here you have your 3D scene in which you’ll visualize your moving points with BlackTrax data.
In your left-hand toolbar, look for the Tracking Visualizer icon. Click and drag it anywhere in your scene.
Click on it, your tracking visualizer will appear in Objects window.
In its properties, you’ll find general information about the object’s position. Click on content and select the BlackTrax receiver as tracking device.
Information about your BlackTrax receiver appears, and you need to fill in the tracker names to see your points in the scene.
You can now divide your screen into a LightAct part and a second Fusion part and move your points into Fusion.
They should move into your LightAct scene !
