There's a long list of 'parts' it doesn't recognise, ex. So I tried changing the names from 'head' to 'Head', because I noticed in Max they seemed capitalised. But that didn't remove the 'head' as being an issue. But I might play a bit more with the file to see if i can be fixed manually.
Well that link I alluded to in my prior post offers free bvh files that do work in 3DSM so you my want to start there. Just follow what I said above about the using the biped. If you do come across something please do share it with the rest of us I did try the conversion and it actually converts to a BIP file, however when loading the BIP it just says an error occured an nothing happens. Why do you have to use the BVH files? LCA, Renderosity is a Poser oriented web site and many people use many of the different 2D and 3D software to enhance their Poser experience.
It is a shared commonality in many respects. I can certainly see the value in being able to cross interlink between different software and a common file format. Not many CGI uses poser figure in this world. I opened this file in Notepad and these are the changes I made to it:. Remember that the file is case sensitive. I then imported this file into a 3DSM biped. The scene played slower than it did in DAZ but then I think that the file is bloated from all those unrecognized track names.
Some further investigation is needed to try and trim the unnecessary stuff out. This bvh file did not have a rButtock or lButtock.
It imported flawlessly into 3DSM with the complains tho and it played at the regular speed. Quote - Why do you have to use the BVH files? So importing my own animations, ones I wouldn't be able to find out there. To be honest I've studied Max animation techniques a little not extensively by any means , like biped, own rigs with bones, bonespro they all look much harder to do besides the fact that you have to rig first. With Poser you've got a fully rigged char, that you can animate very smoothly and fairly easily.
The only advantage 3ds max has is that you have modifiers, can edit the mesh and better rendering, which is why I need to move the animation across. Anyone experienced with 3ds max and Poser animation have a different opinion, I'd like to know :.
So it was just the capitalisation mostly after all. Hmm I'm going to look into now! Looks very promising! My only need to convert from the more software popular Biovision Hierarchy BVH format is that you have a lot of readymade freebies out there that you have more of a chance of getting what you need right off the Internet shelf…sort of speak. Finally found the BVH format White Papers which helps explain the structure and principal of the format.
Quote - Trac I know 3ds Max can do more, which is why I'm making the move, I was specifically referring to character animation. I'm not even refering to rigging, cause as you know Poser characters come fully rigged. I don't want rig I want to animate! Now if you tell me that it's easier to animate a rigged character with 3ds max than it is with Poser then I'll be listening closely!
Because that I haven't seen as yet. Looking back in my notebooks I see entries from that talk about this and the various things I tried.
As you know Poser has rigged characters that work reasonably well extreme bends not so much. And there is a lot of reasonably priced content available to make most animators very happy. Poser's rendering engine however is slow and not so good looking. And building a decent set in another 3D app and bringing it in is awkward.
Max on the other hand has so many tools and options for an animator that it's hard to turn away from it. Max rigging is a craft that takes a long time to master. Rigging, skinning and facial morphs are very challenging and I bow to those who do it well. The Poser hosting programs do work. The back in the day of Poser 4 and Max 3. The current Poser Pro plug-in works but it's very buggy. I have gotten some very pretty results with it and Vray so you might want to think about it.
I think after all these years that the only real answer though is to leave the comfort of Poser and spend a few months or even years learning how to rig, animate and render in Max.
But that is a personal choice. Is it worth me spending the months maybe even years of time with modelling and rigging if that's not what I want? I don't enjoy modelling and rigging, I enjoy sculpting and animation. In the end modelling and rigging are unnessary parts of the equation as long as you are given sufficiently good starting points. V4 is sufficiently good as a model, the thought of modelling teeth, tongue, toes, sends shivers down my spine.
Only top modellers can compete and I've seen many, many character desaster even by modellers with some experience. The key is cusomisation and that you don't achieve with modelling but rather sculpting, in fact most of the professionals use sculpting these days afaik, you'd be silly to model when you have sculpting imho. You can achive far better, precise details much faster with sculpting anyway.
Dials are much easier than even the click and rotate that you have with a 3DS Max biped and you get better results for the most part. All anatomy behaves correctly pretty much. You just need to know when to turn inverse kinematics on and when off. If you have extreme bends they're easily fixed with either morphs or sculpting. As I said 3DS Max has the modifiers and rendering to finish the animation that you must have. But the character animation process itself seems far easier in Poser.
The only thing that has always stopped me from using Poser is the final output. I can't put so much love and effort into an animation if the output just doesn't please me. But if anyone would like it in python, I'm sure I can convert, it's very simple though, here's the entire code. You guys are genius Here is a form, so you can set the file name instead of having to put each file in the directory and name it test.
Or else it will not be able to write new files into that folder. Now, can someone explain to the rest of us how to run these scripts? Mocap Available In Following Formats :. Download mocap files from links below,.
