OOh! Sounds like a head-scratcher to me.

What's a BVH file?

*****Ah.. thought that would grab the Brysters
attention!!!
You know its that thingy er script of annimation that makes models move in a scene, dance, walk, fight,etc sort of thingy.
Its all ready for lazy havent got a clue how to annimate people like myself.
So long as your boned up , rigged add this file to it and away you go. Oh come on this is like trying to ask where the toilet is at a party in a polite way and finishing up by asking," wheres the bog"?
But I will hang in there!!
Or.......is annimation not possible in Bryce? Hmm*****
I do know that you can animate a model in DazStudio and then somehow get that animation into bryce... I remember a lot of discussion about it when I wanted to animate a dragon flying into the distance, but what I can't remember is if I actually did that or how, since there's been so much real life since then with various crashes and dying hard drives so I have no hard evidence of that period left.
I'm sure too that back when Bryce6 came out there was a demo of a ballerina - animated in Daz Studio and then brought into Bryce to render that animation...

Thanks Fran,
yes import the BVH file into DazStudio after having selected your Daz model apply a background colour say blue if you wish to chroma key the model into a video editing program (i use Ulead Video Studio 10+) this seems to work well.
Carrara will import BVH and FBX have since found out but Bryce will not.
Some BVH files when imported into Daz get distorted,and finish up like matchstick men oops persons. have yet to find out if i can fix this or not, however i downloaded BV Hacker from Dave dub which allows you to adjust settings within a BVH but havent got that far just yet. There dose'nt seem a lot of interest out there in this type of file. but have learnt a lot through asking on Google.
Thanks for your interest Fran.
Oh I've got ULead Video Studio, just got it a short while ago.
But I've never used or had a BVH file, wouldn't know where to get one or even if I wanted one.
I'd just animate in Daz Studio, (- if it's a daz figure,) then import back to Bryce and render the animated.... thing, with the rest of the Bryce scene animating too... I think.
I don't believe a BVH file would be necessary.
What else have you used Ulead Video Studio for? I've used it for capturing and converting. In conjunction with other progs. It got a bit complicated as I recall.

****I have only used VideoStudio for editing my video that I have captured and it does a good job once you get past the stage of putting in too many transitional effects as I did. But you do, well I do like to add some extra bits into a clip that can be funny or depending on what you want to achieve and thats where chroma keying comes in very handy. Using the overlay in VS you can import the BVH that you gave a blue background colour to(blue is a good keying colour) when you render in daz to an avi file you can then import into VS direct.
Once in the timeline you can chop up the BVH into segments to get the desired effects.
If you are a dab hand at annimation in Daz then you may not be too interested in BVH, but I have not reached that point yet myself.lol!!
I like making videos adding the sound effects and background music, have found Uleads VideoStudio 9and 10+ do this very well indeed. If you need help head for the VS forumns as support dont seem very helpful.
After render in VS I burn to a DVD that works in the UK and here in OZ, PAL as I send some to my army pal in Bristol.
Many thanks.
I've done most of my editing in Premiere Pro, as that was available last year in College and this year at University, so I've got most used to that.
I'm just trying to learn animation in Daz - if I ever get that far. I've done most of my animation with Earnest Linetester or Stop Motion Pro, as most of it's been either drawn animation or Claymation, only with papier mache rather than clay, most of my 3D animation has been in Bryce with a tiny bit most recently in Maya.
What program is it that creates BVH files?
I've used just green for chroma keying so far, but really it just depends on the colours in your footage.
