[Opensim-users] Open Source Male Walk Animation for OpenSim?

Mon Oct 12 00:10:01 UTC 2009

The BVH files are just simple text files that describe the figure and the 3D
coordinates for each part of the figure's placement in the universe. I
compared the MojoDallas files with some that I already know work in OpenSim.
The OpenSim files have less joint descriptions (such as in the hands) that
can be deleted and there are a couple of differences in how the joints are
referenced (JOINT Left Shoulder vs. JOINT lShldr). Seems like it would be a
fairly easy programming task for someone to write a script that tree-walks
through the files patching them up. I would do it but I am not a programmer
and thus would likely injure innocent 3D models. :)
