I am trying to also create a small short film , with various characters. My question is: Is there a way to import more then one BVH file. For example, import walk one then walk 2 and not have them over lap one another. I just purchased kaydara motionbuilder 5.0, but i was wondering is there a way i can use POSER 5.

how is it kaydar? Does it work well V3?

Yes, you can import BVH files at different points on the timeline. They're applied from your current frame, so import walk one starting at frame 1, then move the scrubber to the end of the animation and import walk 2.

I have not tried it but I would assume that if you are at frame 1 and import (for example) 20 frames of BVH then move to frame 21 and import another 20 frames bvh that they would not overlap. It should be easy enough to prove. regards.

Use caution when importing BVH data from various sources the default location of the figure data may be different in the "poser universe" for each file so dont use the posing camera because you may not know that your figure has suddenly jumped 200 feet to the west when you imported the second BVH file, until its too late

yes, absolutely. I generally import bvh files to a figure. Fix up the scale problems and any odd positioning, then export a new bvh file from poser.

What do you mean when you say Fix up the scale problem? and how do you do that ? Also why export as bvh instead of a pose file ? Is that better than saving it to your pose's menu. Also there is a set of bvh By mocap called santa monica studio chracter moves that has transitions BVH files in it.hope this helps i too have just started to use BVH

You mentioned that you have Motionbuilder 5. At the attached link is a tutorial (nudity in the tutorial images) that provides instructions for exporting the rigging for any model in Poser into Motionbuilder. You can then export a Motionbuilder animation to a bvh file that is specific to your particular Poser figure. Works great!
