@Claude>>Thanks for the confirmation.

Is this tool supposed to work correctly or is it wip ?
Because when i try to convert a bhv to an an8 with this tool, i get an error, see : http://rd-stuff.fr/screenshot-BHV2Anim8or-error.jpg

Thanks,

Post your BVH file and the parameters you're using.
I'm sure NickE will try to help next time is around.
He was on the forum an hour ago.

RemiD,
Like Claude posted, if you post the BHV file and parameters, I will take a look.  Often, these issue happen because so many different BVH generators write slightly differing formats that the parser does not anticipate or the file is simply malformed.

Ok, here is the bhv biovision file : http://rd-stuff.fr/MasterLiuPerformance-1200to3200-bhvbiovision.bvh

I have managed to import this bhv animation with Ultimate unwrap 3d and with Fragmotion and with Blender and the tpose skeleton seems ok but the animated skeleton seems weirdly scaled stretched... (but the animation seems correct) I am trying to determine if this weird scaling stretching comes from an error in the exporter (of a software which exports motion captured animations in bhv biovision) or from the importer.

If you have an idea, please let me know.

Thanks,

Just to let you know that i have solved the weird scaling stretching of the skeleton while it is animating (you have to remove all translation/position keys of all joints/bones except those of the root joint/bone)

However i still have the error when trying to convert the bhv file to an an8 file using BVH2Anim8or.

(i don't really need to use anim8or but it would be good to fix this bug anyway for the others users, as you want...)

Good luck,

@NickE Hey, man. Any new updates for BVH2an8 soon?
     Anim8or has a great ik now, so I believe this could also solve the little problems the imported character's had.

Daniel,
Have you run into BVH files the BVH2an8 cannot handle?  If so, please post them, and I will see what I can do.

Thank you,
NickE

       I haven't had such problems. Your converter is simply amazing. I used it a lot in the past, and I would even send you a beer on Paypal.  :) I'm only referring to the "jiggle" I had in some movements a while back, which I had to manually correct. I remember that had to do with the IK system anim8or had back then.
       I'll get my new laptop in a couple of days and make some new tests.
