# NI mate Motion Capture

Add an NImate node to the scene to begin - its variables should be self-explanatory.

Requires Delicode NI mate. Use default settings with skeleton tracking enabled.

## Sensor Compatibility

Some sensors have fewer tracking points than normal. If the rig inside the NI mate viewport looks mangled, try enabling **Rig > Simple**:

## Rig Compatibility

All animated bones must face forward relative to the armature.

In Blender, you can ensure this is the case by displaying bone axes and checking if the Z axes are facing forward:

If any of them aren't facing forward, select all bones in Edit mode and do **Armature > Bone Roll > Recalculate Roll > Global +/- X/Y/Z Axis**. You'll most likely be using **Global -Y Axis** if the armature faces forward relative to the world.
