I got this bvh file from the ohio state motion capture online repository... (http://accad.osu.edu/research/mocap/mocap_data.htm)

And if you load it up in BVHacker or Motion Builder PLE or pretty much any other program that I can find, it works wonderfully. Looks perfect. But as soon as you try to load it up in Poser, your character turns into a pretzel. (mainly contorting the hips to a 90 degree position and twisting up the top half of the body.)

I've tried importing it -- and then exporting it again from various programs to no avail. I've purchased BVH Helper from PhilC and gone through the various options with that... I've tried editing the original file, but apart from renaming the bone parts to work with poser I've really got very little understanding of the BVH structure.

So, I thought I'd try here. Any poser BVH experts out there with a few moments to spare? I'm attaching the poser ready version of the file (with the bones renamed) in the hopes that someone might be able to fix it... Again -- it works perfectly with every other program I've tried -- but poser just can't seem to get it right...

I've renamed the file with a txt extension in order to upload it here... just rename it back to WalkToCrouch.bvh...
