Kinect Motion Capture in the Source Engine

Here is a breakdown of how I get mocap into the Source Engine, this is just saw footage not cleaned up or tweaked but it gives you the understanding of easy it is to do motion capture now. All I did was purchase a xbox kinect get some free opensourced programs, purchase 3ds max, download plugins, purchase Half-Life 2 and there you go mocap at your own home.

Alright so I've made a .bip file. I can make .bvh of this and load it in 3ds max. How do I get it into source engine and make it work?
