LifeForms
Hello, Go to their web site and sign up for the free demo cd. It will be mailed to you and you can try it for free. Version 3 had some problems with Poser exported BVH, but it seems to be fixed now in version 3.5. I think the program could be very useful to those that need to do heavy animation. I have the demo and have edited Poser exported BVH files in it. They also seem to be upgrading the BVH support by having new plug-in versions of the BVH for DL on the web site. They also stated that Zygote would be making LifeForm ready models. Hope this info is helpfull. Serpent
I have Lifeforms Studio 3.5. Very happy with the Poser compatability so far. I bought because I was going insane due to Posers wacky spline interpolations going off between keys. Wasted 80% of my time fixing splines & converting to linear interpolation, which Lifeforms defaults to. If you spend (or plan to ) much time animating Poser characters, I think Lifeforms is a must ,if you intend on accomplishing very much. The non BVH files are many and fairly useful, but are not really polished. I also bought Zygotes Motion CD during a sale. Lifeforms will import motions for just a part (arm for example) of any BVH file, & can merge motions together in any way you like. It has an incredible Browser to thumb thru the multitude of included files & also Poser bvh files, with outline figures. Sort of like Explorer style browsing. Can zoom in & rotate/translate during the browser playing the BVH or motion file. I would say Lifeforms opens up animations possibilities considerably for a 1 man operation. Pack
