Hi its a motion file that is captured by using a real human with sensors attatched to his/her body The person then act s out a motion like tap dancing or boxing or whatever and this motion is captured as computer data and can be applied to a posable 3D character for realistic animation of the human form. It is a subject that is as hotly debated as Pro choice vs Prolife in many of the hardcore character animation forums /lists that I visit because many animators see it as somehow "cheating" but i think it is a good technology when used properly and can save alot of production time if you do alot of character animation. the link above is to a small 660k mpeg animation where a BVH sexy walk was applied to the victoria model the secondary motion such as the swinging hair and bouncing breasts were key framed manually by me on top of the BVH motion.
