1. Performer Setup

Create a performer

Hand Engine 3 has the ability to create and store calibration for multiple performers. Upon launching a Default performer will be automatically generated.

If you have Hand Engine Pro, you can add more than one performer by clicking on Add.

The performer will be created and automatically staged.

If a performer is already staged, the check box next to that performer will be ticked. To stage a performer, please select the check box next to that performer.

 

Unstage a Performer

To unstage a performer, please de-select the check box next to that performer. You can select this box to bring the performer back to the stage.
