Hi,
I have searched the forums here and I haven't found a answer to this question.
When I turn my head and I get the resulting yaw in FT I can't get any Z translation. If I don't input any yaw I can get Z translation. So for example if I look to the left I can't get any Z translation. If I lean forward and get Z translation then I can't get any yaw. If I don't lean forward I can look to the right the full 180 degrees but if I don't lean forward I can only look to the left a small amount and I get the full z translation. I hope this is making sense!
I am using a 3 point clip on the right side of my headset and I think that has something to do with it. When I look to the left my clip is actually getting closer to the camera and therefore I get z translation instead of yaw. Does anyone have any idea of how to fix this problem. I have tried different curves for Z translation and yaw with no results.
Thanks Mark

I think this is because you need to specify the offset of your points to the rotation point of your head.

Go to the Model tab and at the bottom is Model Position.

It does take some fiddling.

Hope it helps...
