Getting mocaps in Daz Studio using Animeeple - (2 of 3)

in part 2 we process the BVH we obtained in part 1
by applying it to a Second Life Avatar then transfering the animation
to Aiko, through the Pose Preset Animations ( File Save-As/Pose Preset )

The skateeffect can be fixed with the poser itself. But all that is finally to much work! Ore not?

a scene like that could take says to animate "by hand", but "cleaning" this animation could take only hours, so i'd say it's worth the patient work :)

[SirJohnsStatement]

That's true. A cleaned mocap is ever better than a selfmade animation. But have you tired out this all with a more complicated BVH like at example 87_03.bvh or 87_04.bvh?

[mcasual]

i tried with mocaps from the 01 pack only, but there's complicated moves, climbing ladders, jumping, swinging and it looked ok. if you go at the web site of the university ( see in the description box ) you can see the humans who recorded the movements

[animeeple]

There is another way to fix that minor shlder problem.

in part 3 i return to animeeple and do the T-Pose step correctly - and the end result on Aiko is perfect - i read a minute ago that it's hahne at CGspeed that added the z-axis t-pose on frame 0, to speed up work with motion builder

[truebones]

This is nice, Thankyou !

i have to finish learning to use animeeple - it's the age old problem, people (me) just don't want to read the help files !. but i will watch all the tutorials on your youtube channel :)
