<\/image> SL Animation Importer(BVH)<\/h2>\n
\n
\n

A simple file importer for SL Animation files using the BVH format. The importer only works reliably if following conditions apply:<\/p>\n

    \n
  1. The animation has been made for Secondlife<\/li>\n
  2. The Animation contains a reference pose in the first frame.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    Note:<\/strong><\/span> If the above conditions do not apply, then the importer most probably does not import the animations correctly.<\/p>\n

    You find the Importer here:<\/p>\n

    The Importer Options<\/h3>\n
    \n
    \n
    You find a set of Import options in the File selector:<\/p>\n
      \n
    • Import with Rig:<\/em><\/span>
      \nUse Basic for the SL System character
      \nUse Extended for a Bento Rig<\/li>\n
    • Retarget to [Origin | COG]<\/span><\/em>: BVH files either have their root bone in the C<\/span><\/strong>enter O<\/span><\/strong>f G<\/span><\/strong>ravity (COG, mPelvis) or at the base of the rig (Origin). Here you can specify which situation applies to your imported BVH file.<\/li>\n
    • With Translation:<\/span><\/em> (as it says)<\/li>\n
    • Scale:<\/span><\/em> (by default assume unit is inch)<\/li>\n
    • Cleanup action<\/em><\/span>: remove animation curves which contain less than 2 keyframes<\/li>\n
    • Keep source rig:<\/span><\/em> For debugging only<\/li>\n
    • Keep reference frame:<\/em> For debugging only<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/div>\n
      \n
      \"\"<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
      Tip:<\/span><\/strong> Please check the hover tool tips for more detailed information.<\/p>\n
      After Import<\/h3>\n
      \n
      \n
      When the import was successful you see a fresh Avastar Rig (only the Armature in Stick mode)\u00a0 and the imported animation in the timeline (default action).<\/p>\n
      In the image i have changed the display mode from Stick to Octahedral only for cosmetic reasons.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
      \n
      \"\"<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
      Variation: Import into existing Avastar<\/h3>\n
      If you already have an Avastar character in the scene, then you can load an animation directly “into” your Avastar character:<\/p>\n
        \n
      • Select the Avastar rig in Object mode<\/li>\n
      • Call the BVH importer as described above.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n
        The importer recognizes the active Object is an Avastar character and uses it as target for the imported Animation.<\/p>\n
        Note:<\/span><\/strong> This importer is experimental and basically unsupported. Feedback and suggestions for improvement are welcome.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
