Quote - What I would like is to combine 2 BVH files together. I have tried this in Poser but what happens usually is the 2nd BVH goes back to the 0 position of the figure instead of where the figure was last at and does not keep the last frame pose.
I got a copy of IClone SE in a PC magazine I subscribe to. IClone is suppose to be able to edit BVH files but I have not found away using SE.

Yeah, this is one place where Poser animation falls down (in general).  When importing/applying BVH or animated poses, it always adds keyframes at the keys stated in the file.  It never considers the current frame setting for offset.  It would be a bit easier if Poser allowed multiple documents to be opened.  Then you could apply two BVH sets and copy/paste from the one document into the other.  Alas, neither of these options is available.

The only read option for the time being would be to update the keyframe numbers in the BVH file manually so as to apply them later on.  Not sure if Poser still clears existing animation.

C makes it easy to shoot yourself in the foot. C++ makes it harder, but when you do, you blow your whole leg off.
