Our game engine requires that our character assets be facing negativeZ.
But in Mobu is on posZ: imported fbx(or bvh) and actor.
I know I can rotate actor to match character or the actor to match the data
But can I rotate all to match the imported characrter (on negativeZ)?

Thanks

Yes you can load all the data on at once in to many takes, rotate the parent node for the mocap source data and all of them should be facing -z.

you might need to set the top node to key contorls-animation-take options-normal so that it keeps the same position on each take instead of storing a diffrent transform per take.

Got the bvh data rotated
Rotated the actor
Imported the mac character
applied the 3ds Max Biped Template
Characterized,
Matched the bones.
Hit activate....
the characters twists!
Tried several ways.

When running the anim, the kneews seem to be “right” but the feet wrong. Likewise with the rest of the body.

Any suggestions? Does your disk go into this kind of troubleshooting? Are there other sources out there?
