After the dependency library is installed, you can run the plug-in, there are two ways to run the plug-in, the first is to find the IClone software chart on the desktop, open the IClone file location, in the "Reallusion\iClone 8\Bin64\OpenPlugin" directory,Copy the "PluginIClone" folder to this path (Figure 281);

Next, play human data in real-time mode or load a set of human data in post-processing mode. At the same time, open the Settings in XINGYING software, set the SDK broadcast address to "10.1.1.198" in the "Network" TAB, and check "SDK". Start IClone and drag the "Test.iAvatar" model in the "PluginIClone ->models" folder to the IClone scene;

On the menu bar, choose Plugins->NokovPlugin->Nokov Body Mocap Window to open the plug-in window (as shown in Figure 282). In the plug-in window, set Type to V2 and enter 10.1.1.198 in Server.Enter ServerIP to set the SDK broadcast address for the capture software;

Select Preview(live preview)/Record(record) as needed and click start;

Note: When you click Connect to get the connection information and click start to run the IClone plug-in, please ensure that the human body is in the 3D view;

At this time, the dynamic capture data is played and the model in IClone is driven in real time (Figure 284).

（4）Run the plug-in - Method 2

The second method does not require copying the "PluginIClone" folder into the OpenPlugin. Start IClone software, click "Script->Load Python" in the menu bar (as shown in Figure 285), select "main.py" in the plug-in folder of "PluginIClone", and click to open;
