Anim8or Meshes put through Their Paces With BVH
headwax:
those extra triangular cuts help.
alos lifted the shoulder a tad.
Francesco:
25% done - just completed the loader. Now I have to convert the BVH nodes into Anim8or bones, convert the motion section into a sequence and finally save everything into a an8 project.
It is going to be a standalone C++ converter and not a script. I hope not to get stuck and to release it in a short while.

Headwax, your Santa looks quite a cheery chappy and his shoulders are looking fine.
Francesco, I'm curious to try out your conversion when you're done, quite a job you have taken on.
Sorry I didn't post for a while but I got a new PC with great specs - no, not glasses for you British readers.
Took forever to transfer between the old and the new PC but I'm back again .... oops, maybe this is not good news ;D
hihosilver:
Here's a great article that addresses shoulder topology at one point.
Here's one that's much more specific
I find that the second one does a good job of representing some good topology. Basically, there's somewhat of a cap where a person's muscle flows (though I feel cap is a bad word for it, because that might cause people to simply extrude which is what you should NOT do.)
Using triangles is not the best way for shoulders, I would advise something a bit different as in the first link (I feel it effectively uses a very small amount of polygons while still keeping good form.)
Keep up the good work, and I hope that helped a bit :)

Hay! I'm impressed. :) I didn't think it could be done. When you finish it I reckon it will change the face of anim8or! Thankyou Francesco!
Lynn,
Nice to see you back and thanks for the kind comment on my santa's shoulder's. And he is a cheering chappy, courtesy of his love for port and cake....
Hiho,
Much obliged for the input and the link. I'll check it out! Always value your thoughts cause you have much better brains than me ..... Just think how smart you'll be when you get to my age!!
