I spent about 4 hours yesterday, and dlded more than 500 BVH from the lists at that site. BTW, don't bother to dld "Boxing" as they are invalid files, I tried some and all failed to load correctly in C4D and Poser. AND Judy is no problem to accept the other valid BVH files.

which files work in Poser??? And , do all the files need to be downloaded, or just the BVH files....there are 3 files to each group

".... I spent about 4 hours yesterday, and dlded more than 500 BVH from the lists at that site.... " Well, I've read this post a few times and find it quite interesting. A question - - when you refer to "that site..." what is the site? Do you have an URL you can share? Maybe this was in a previous post, but so far I have not located it. thanks.

What type of file do I download, they all have weird file extensions, I can't find the BVH files. Also do I choose other programs. They have a Maya section but I was confused at what link to choose.

I picked the 3d Studio max link and the bhv file showed up. Happy Holidays to all.

So where are they? Don't see them there. Thanks, Marque

Got any coffee? Marque

Ok, I'm stupid, no coffee whatever. All I get is a grey screen with a graph on it...no files just a bunch of subcatagories. What am I doing wrong?? Thanks, Marque

I have a really dumb question about the dlded of the files. After I add it to my cart, click the link I get the text file showing. Do I just copy and past it? If so what file format and extension do I save it in? Forgive my ignorance but I am blonde. Thanks in advance.

--in the subcategory, pick your favourite pose( like walk) --it hs head, shoulder...., pick again. --there are some pose names with preview icon, select the one you need, it will add to the cart in the right frame --a 'get it free" shows up, click to enter --a summery page at the left frame shows up, browse thru to the bottom of page, and click to get it --at the same frame, a confimration page tells you what file you just picked( with *.umf extension), that's it, click. --again at the same page, you are directed to a ftp page with the file info( usually in the name like both 0000006.umf and 0000006.bvh), just get the bvh, irnoring the umf. voila, and enjoy the free poses.;) --

better to use " save as a link " at the right mouse click ( in IE or Netscape).

and don't bother to dld "boxing" and all"cylcling" poses, they are invalid to poser and c4d.

This is a great resource. For some reason, I can't see the bvh downloads using the MAX entrance, only uml, c and h types. I've been downloading the uml versions and converting them to bvh using their converter which also serves as a nice little viewer for the motions. My only real nag is that the filenames (at least the ones I see) are just numbers and I find no way to tie them back to the descriptive names. Strangely, the boxing ones are the only ones I've seen that keep the descriptive names and as stated, they don't work in Poser. If you open one in a text editor,the headers look the same as the ones that work so I'm not sure what the problem is. It might be a good idea to go easy on downloading these and not grab too many at once. There's some great stuff here and I'd hate to have them look at a huge jump in bandwidth and decide to stop giving then away. Just a thought.

Thanks so much. I got them to work thanks to your great trail blazing!

btw, a blonde could be a president of any country in the globe, so don't worry about your hair colour. ;P

Thanks! I just spent 1 hrs DLing a whole load of stuff. Tip much appreciated. :] Fish

Great resource! Has anybody figured out how to cross reference the filenames to the descriptions or to d/l the sample motion views?
