"teh walks and turns can be accomplised using the walk designer." Not really. Perhaps I should have been clearer. I brought this up once before in a thread. How do you do a scene where somebody walks into a room, stops, turns around and walks away? If you think about it, the act of turning around from a standing position, or abruptly turning around, is a very complicated move, one that the walk designer can't possibly duplicate. For instance, a 180 degree turnaround requires several repositionings of the feet. The only thing the walk designer can do is create a "swivel," which looks unnatural. This is always the problem with finding usable BVH files. Everybody offers radical kung-fu moves and such, but when you're trying to animate a scene, it's trying to find the simple little things like turnarounds that end up driving you crazy. But, hey, whatever you create, I'll probably buy. -jjsemp
