I bought a copy from EggHead.com a while ago. There are alot of BVH samples from DS on the Poser4 CD. -JH.

I have looked lately, but MSBCD was selling it with a rebate from MC that was equal to the cost, essentially free.

I only paid $12.00 for it, but I was disappointed by it; others may tell you a different story. The samples on the Poser CD are much better than anything I was able to make with it. -JH.

Was just a thread on Dance Studio http://www.renderosity.com/messages.ez?Form.ShowMessage=89361 I love it. Sounds just like what you need. Try finding dance BVH's this professional at a price anywhere close.

I bought it a while back and like JeffH I have to aggree and say it was rather disapointing. If you want it check out ebay and you can probably get ourself a shrinkwrapped one for about 10 dollars. Doug

You guys are pretty tough. $10 for a program that generates bvh files captured from live professional dancers? I'd like to see anyone put a tool like that together for less, or give more for the same price. Making good motion choreography in Poser is a bitch. I can make a 3 minute professional dance bvh in 5 minutes. If if it saves you 2 hours, you're breaking even. I frequently spend 50 hours on a 1 minute animation, & wouldn't ever bother even trying to choreograph someone dancing without it looking like a epileptic seizure.

I have Dance Studio and it makes me laugh when ever I use it. I had problems with it(it would freeze) so I downloaded the patch that Dance Studio asked for ,it took 3-6 months before I could download it(who knows)but since the patch no more freezes and I have to say it is one of the funniest programs I have. The BVH files from it work very well in Poser for me no flickering. I love the way the characters tell you to hurry up if you take to long. Marge

pack, i have checked your files they work well, and are not bad i am looking to get a copy of DS from ebay in germany this might work but its taking time one thing i noticed about the bvh's from your site they seem to flicker strangely the motion does not look natural can this be fixed ? -Ede
