I recently downloaded the Poser 4 Mac update from Metacreations website and have had problems importing BVH files created in Lifeforms 3.5. The model ends up looking severely distorted. Without the update eveything works fine. Am I missing a step or is this a software bug? Any suggestions are welcome.

Hello, I don't claim to be a LifeForms Pro but I have used it before. I do most of my animation stuff in Poser 3. If poser 4 works ok for you without the patch then I guess the patch is causing your LF BVH import problems. Serpent

Thanks, I recieved an E-Mail yesterday from Credo stating that they are working on a patch due to the changes in the recent Poser update.

I happen to know of a company that offers custom motion capture for as little as $2.00 a movement.

The problem I had showed up with the Poser update. Check at charactermotion.com. for the updated plug-ins. Or else write to tech support at charactermotion and tell them about it

Hello, That should be easy to fix Vince. LifeForms can convert movments from one model to another very easy. Open poser and load the poser horse in it's default pose. Set the animation frames to just 1. Export the horse 1 frame animation as a BVH. Example: poserhorse.bvh Open LifeForms and load the LifeForms horse gallop, select all the frames and "Copy". You can close that one and then open the poserhorse.bvh you saved, go to the timeline and "Paste". The model's Joint Editor will open and you will have to tell LF which part matches which part for it to convert. Example: the LF Gallop might call it LowerBack, where the Poser horse calls it hip. You just set these up to match. Then you export the new BVH and it will work a lot better. This is the whole reason for using LifeForms to start with. Serpent
