Blender support for the Shadow motion capture system.
The folder Motion in this repository is the Blender add-on. Copy the entire folder into your Blender installation or user folder. Refer to the Blender manual for more details.
https://docs.blender.org/manual/preferences/addons.html
Note that you must copy the folder manually rather than using the Blender Add-Ons window. The window only supports installation of single file add-ons.
