Open 3D Stream – Building

This document outlines the steps to build the Open 3D Stream from source.

Required Prerequisites:

• CMake
• Visual Studio 2019

Optional Prerequisites:

• FbxSdk – For FbxStreamer
• MotionBuilder – For Motion Builder Plugin

Building (Windows)

1. Check out the code:

   git clone git@github.com:mocap-ca/Open3DStream.git

2. switch to brand dev-al:

   cd Open3DStream
   git checkout dev-al

3. Build the third party libraries (this will take a while):

   cd third_party
   build.bat

4. Build Open3DStream:

   cd ..
   build.bat

Tests

Run the FBX Streamer to stream data

build_debug\apps\FbxStream\FbxStream.exe test_data\beta_anim.fbx pub tcp://127.0.0.1:6001

Troubleshooting

If the fbx streamer doesn’t build, check the version and path of the sdk. See apps/FbxStream/CMakeLists.txt:

set(fbxroot "C:/Program Files/Autodesk/FBX/FBX SDK/2020.0.1")
