They were supposedly converted for use in Poser, but when I apply them to a D3 or M4 or H3 or any character I can think of, they just tie the character in a pretzel.
Many of the joints they mention don't exist in Poser figures, and I don't even know to which joint they correspond.

Heh Phil.. You keep selling me stuff I didn't even know I needed.. Well this one seems to cure a LOT of BVH-problems so I'm giving it a try :)

You just can't put the words "Poserites" and "happy" in the same sentence - didn't you know that? LaurieA

flib, I've used several of those CMU bvh files. if you can select one, I can see how it works in poser. to be honest, they work better on unrigged figures IMVHO.

I've tried a bunch in poser and, downloaded and imported as-is, none of them work.
What is an "unrigged" figure?
Miss Nancy posted Fri, 27 November 2009 at 2:32 PM
in re: poser, an unrigged figure is one of the obj geom files to which the cr2 (rigging) files refer.
I prefer said files in t-pose with all joints zeroed.

I like the movements but on some that are really long they don't load! POSER just hangs up trying to import the BVH. The shorter BVHs import fine.
So...is there a way to bring the BVH into some tool and crop/edit it so that you get only the sequence of frames you want? I tried BVHacker and it loads and crops the file but what it SAVES does not match when loaded into Poser - you get a figure that just wobbles around. So...BVHacker is for Second Life only I understand so the "save" command must change the BVH?
Ideas anyone? Thanks!!

I have no problems with Carnegie Mellon BVH files in Poser. They load fine! You just have to adjust them as far as the speed is concerned, and maybe tweak the characters movements a bit where they need it. Of course, programs like Phili's "BVH helper" and "BVH constraints" help a lot.

There is the group of set 56 which will not load because of size - I wait several minutes and Poser is still chugging along. The other poses seem to load fine.
I noticed in BVHacker is RENAMES all the joints so they don't match Poser. Pretty cool tool to give you just the sequence you want but the renaming is annoying.
Is there another tool that'll do this?
