There is a Poser compatible conversion which seems to work better:<br><br><a href="http://www.cgspeed.com/2008/09/poser-friendly-conversion-of-cmu-bvh.html">http://www.cgspeed.com/2008/09/poser-friendly-conversion-of-cmu-bvh.html</a><br>
<br>"Mike Sutton of <a href="http://www.mojodallas.com/">mojodallas.com</a>
has taken the BVH conversion release of the Carnegie-Mellon motion
capture dataset and run it through his own set of scripts to make it
more feasible to use the motions in Poser. You can find the main page
that describes his conversion work and the download links at <a href="http://mojodallas.blogspot.com/2008/09/converting-carnegie-mellon-university.html">mojodallas.blogspot.com</a>.

successfully import to SL or OpenSim you only have certain joints to animate,
so fingers and toes, for example, won’t animate. I think the presence of
animation information for extra joints may cause an import to fail, so I would
try importing to a tool like QAvimator or Animeeple if a plain import to the
grid doesn’t work.</span></p>

the conversion worked as planned! Fingers crossed someone else has better luck </span><span style="font-size: 11pt; font-family: Wingdings; color: rgb(31, 73, 125);">J</span><span style="font-size: 11pt; color: rgb(31, 73, 125);"></span></p>

That's a great find! since they are already .bvh files they don't need
converting. They just need to be uploaded as an Animation. **BUT**,
I just tried to upload one to Second Life and got the error message that
animation files must not be larger than 60K. A quick scan of the first
set of .bvh files from the link you provided shows most of these files are at
least hundreds of kilobytes large. Maybe they can be opened with
something like Avimator and edited down. Or, as far as OpenSim goes,
maybe there is a config setting to allow larger Animation uploads. Again,
I haven't tried uploading to my OpenSim yet. Mine's down this
morning. Hopefully someone else can try.<br>
<br>
Cheers!<br>

Was anybody successful at converting these animations so we can use them in<br>
OpenSim? Seems like over 2500 animations would be worth the effort.<br>
