I have some bvh and want to import it into to a character in motionbuilder. I can import the bvh but HOW DO I PUT INTO THE CHARACTER SO THE CHARACTER CAN PERFORM WHAT ITS ON THE BVH.

hi
you need to do several steps :
1- you should skin your character in yoour main application (maya or 3dmax) and export the character and the rig as fbx
2- import your character to motion builder
3- characterize it and activate the character in motionbuilder
4- import your bvh file
5- characterize your bvh rig (it should be in T pose)
6- on your main character’s properties choose character input as source and choose your bvh character as input
7- now your character should follow the bvh
8- on main character’s properties plot the animation and choose skeleton
9- now you can delete your bvh rig and character and save the file
10- import it in your main application. if you done everything correct your character should have the bvh animation.
11- now place your character in scene and have fun :D

you have to drag and drop a character asset on the bvh joint hierarchy and if your bvh is motion builder ready it will warn you “character must be in stance pose facing z axis” and asking if it’s a biped or quadruped character. Click on bibed and you are done
if the character definition is not motion builder ready (names of your bvh joints not corresponding to the mb naming convention) you have to drag and drop each joint from your bvh into the corresponding field in the character definition tab.
Don’t know if it’s clear enough and if it’s answer your question
but go to http://mocappys.com/?p=32 and learn more precisely how to characterize de joint hierarchy

Hi everyone,

I’m new in using Motion Builder and I thought to post here as I wan to use it for animating a character with a bvh.

I wanted to ask if I can import models that I have exported from 3D Max other than biped and then import a bvh file. Or does the model must have a biped skeleton for it to work?

Thanks a lot!
