Great to see this plugin out in the world! I highly recommend looking for the companion tutorial. It includes very useful information and excellent underlying templates for skeleton tracking.
The windows .ZIP file is not extracting for me. I’ve downloaded it several times on a couple of different machines and it says “Windows cannot open the folder. The compressed (zipped) Folder. . . in invalid”
I am sorry to hear you are having trouble with the download file. I have double checked the file by downloading and opening the Zip file twice. Both times the file downloaded correctly and I was able to open the Zip and access the files as expected. Please clear your browser cache and try again. It is a large file over 100mb, so be sure your internet connection is reliable.
