BVH Question

[jason1025]

I am stuck on stage 3 of this tutorial

1. He says to create a pose from an action. When I right click in the action window I do NOT get the New pose relationship option. So how do you achieve this?

2. Its kind of hard to tell which filters he has selected is it just the first 4?

3. Does anyone know how to get a bvh file that is in the Standard "T" model pose. I need that pose to constrain my bones the the BVH otherwise the offsets are OFF by too much.

 

Any suggestions would be much appreciated.

The BVH files that you can download for free are a mixed bag. You never know what you are getting and more often than not they won't start with a t-pose. My suggestion is to scale and position the rig as close as you can get it to match your rig and then set your constraints. Then, making sure that "A"nimation mode is not active, adjust the rigs as neccesary. Don't forget to turn "A"nimation mode back on afterwards.

The tutorial was done in a much older version of A:M... before Relationships were introduced. I think you will have to experiment a little to adapt it to the current version.

Thanks an update will be much appreciated. I still can not easily load a bvh file as you describe in Stage four. I did find a work around by deleting the keys in every bone in current bvh and loading a new one. Its a pain. Looking forword to your much easier way.
