Stupid question time. Does there exist a program that can generate BVH motion files from say AVI, Real Player or Quicktime files? I realize you'd probably have to setup some markers so the program would know the figure layout. I'm just wondering if such a program exists. I did a search here and turned up this Visual Marker 2.0, but wondered if this was what I was looking for. Any gurus out there can stear me in the right direction? Dave

I'm not aware of that, but if you have a win 9x OS, you can create your own bvh files with MetaC's Dance Studio. There's some monkey motion getting it to work with Poser. But its fun. Dance Studio is out of production but I see it from time to time on Ebay. Its a set of toon characters that you can move around on the dance floor with the keyboard. Generates a bvh file. But for what you're asking about, I'm not aware of anything.

try life forms 4 from credo interractive. They have a rotoscoping favcility for generating bvh files from live footage but it involveds lining uop a figurine with the figure in the avi.

Hmmm... someone was working on a freeby app to do this. Haven't seen a post recently on the subject, though. Try doing a search on "bhv" in this forum and see if you can find the discussion?!?!? H:)

I think this was the freebie one that is under development.
