Animeeple to assemble, buy, sell, convert the BVHs

the poser/daz compatible figures, Second life avatars
by importing the BVHs produced by Animeeple with this character in daz studio
then saving the animation as a pose preset animation,
you can then load the pose-preset animation and apply it to Aiko
in some cases i think i noticed i could improve the quality of the results

and when I try to import an BHV file from Carnegie Melon library.. I got this:

"BVH (10): syntax error, unexpected BVH_TEXT, expecting BVH_BEGIN

BVH does not have frames"

make sure your BVHs come from the CGSPEED link

Hello and congratulations for your work!

I'm French and I have great difficulties with the translation of your videos.

Do you write a tutorial that explains how to import a model DAZ 3D

Animeeple?

I search the import procedure, because my attempts were unsuccessful so far.

Thank you.

Patrick

vous cherchez a importer un personnage de daz3d/poser dans animeeple?

j'ai essayé ca 1 fois. ex: charger Aiko3LE dans daz studio - Toujours dans Daz Studio, faire "File/Export..." puis choisir le type de fichier Collada (.dae) - sauvegarder Aiko.dae - fermer daz studio - ouvrir animeeple puis faire un "File import file"

mais si ma mémoire est bonne il y avait des problemes en perspective

Well done for running through hoops to get this to vaguely work, so no criticism of your excellent tutorial, but this shows just how primitive and backward 3d animation programmes are, how ludicrously un-user friendly they are and just how far away we are from convincing animation.

Look amongst nearly all the animation examples here on YouTube and you'll see how primitive the software still is.

if you open a CR2 file, for a poser figure you will see that the figure's shape is in an external OBJ file. if you create a new OBJ using truespace or others, you can create a new figure. to make it work, the figure's polygons must be grouped together for each body part. the groups must have the correct names. I'm not sure, but i think the programs Carrera and Hexagon, have features that help you work with poser figures, since they are made/sold by the makers of daz studio
