I have added a brief video showing you how to use the script. CSV2Keys Script Installation Video

I suspect that you just need to delete the first line of the csv file. The script does not need a header in the csv. Just open the .csv in the maxscript editor and delete the first line of code and save. It should work after that.

I suppose I could write it to deal with the header but it works just fine as it is without it.

jea its great
and our next experiment

when he flys from philly to berlin here
hes gonna record the motion data on that!!!!

Haha, cool I have used the trajectories as well as the reduce function on them but hadn’t thought of meshing the spline!

hey johnny, this is really aweseome! thanks for making aware of it, my brother just got me some CSV data, this is incredible,

MOCAP for the MASSES!

one can also just turn the trajectory into a spline, put edit mesh on it and use each vertice to emit particles with position object,
or of course, just use the spline to create super interesting mesh

and also thanks for the pflow tutorial, i never realized one could put audio/noise/wave controller on the emission rate!

thanks man!

Hi Ian,

The iPhone and iTouch 3rd gen have a built accelorometer, the app that I link to captures this acceleration data in the form of an X,Y,Z vector. So it is not an exact representation of how the phone is moving in 3d space but it is real close. The generation 4 has a 3 xis gyro scope in it, I haven’t got one so I don’t know what data it generates but could be cool

Anyway it does generate so cool motion data, make for some real interesting particle emitters!
