Type of Issue

• Execution error

Your System Configuration

1. Whole console output https://pastebin.com/MukJBvUc

2. OpenPose version: OpenPose Unity Plugin v1.0.0alpha-1.5.0

3. General configuration:

   • Operating system Windows 10
   • Release or Debug mode release

Am assuming the host http://posefs1.perception.cs.cmu.edu/OpenPose/models/ is down
I tried to change my DNS configuration and using VPN but always failed to resolve the URL even on the browser

is there any alternative to getModel.bat to get the models i see it's trying to download caffemodel files and these files are ignores in the repo .gitignore
