I've been trying to import some BVH files with over 1000 frames into Poser 6, and, while I understand why a BVH file with more than 999 frames wouldn't import into earlier versions of Poser (since that was the max on the animation frame counter), I can't seem to get P6 to import these longer BVH motions, even though it seems to work fine for shorter ones that I've tried (around 350 frames). Any thoughts? --T

I don't know if that limit is really there, but if it's a problem, you might try using my Python solution, which brings in the BVH through a different 'door'.

Interesting, because I have been able to import BVH files of 1400 frames. Course they are so huge that there isn't much I can do with them, an animation would take forever to render, and even doing something in the cloth room is a real chore.

in Poser 5, I imported a 4500+ frame BVH file, and I just tried it now in P6. worked fine, without a problem took about 1/2 an hour to LOAD the thing, but it was there at the end of it!

Poser 4 only shows 999 frames but it can actually load in more, the newer versions of poser should be the same. Dr geep had a tutorial that mentioned this.

Hm, I tried some "over 1000" frame BVH files, and it still wouldn't do it. (I'm on a Mac--maybe that's the difference?) Also, Ockham, I can't seem to get your script to work: I think I am doing it right--is there a trick to where I need to store it? Thanks--T

tvining, just checked and BVHmixer3.py uses Tkinter for its GUI which will not work on the Mac at all. Having converted some of face_off's Tkinter GUI's to P6 on the Mac, if someone can send me a screen shot of the PC version dialog(s) I might be able to produce a Mac version. With ockham's OK, of course :-)
