READMEFIRST v1.00 last update July 20, 2008 by B. Hahne
|
|
|
|
This READMEFIRST file accompanies the cgspeed.com "BVH conversion"
|
|
release of the Carnegie-Mellon University (CMU) Graphics Lab Motion
|
|
Capture Database. See "Where to find stuff" at the bottom of this
|
|
file for where to get the BVH conversion and/or the original CMU
|
|
dataset.
|
|
|
|
The original CMU motion capture database isn't in BVH format - it's
|
|
in ASF/AMC format. This BVH conversion release was created by Bruce
|
|
Hahne, a hobbyist animator, in the interest of making the data more
|
|
available and easily usable by other animators. I presently (2008)
|
|
maintain the web site www.cgspeed.com, where this BVH conversion
|
|
release will be available or linked.
|
|
|
|
The emphasis on this release is to produce BVH files that can rapidly
|
|
be used in MotionBuilder for motion retargetting. The files are not
|
|
yet particularly Poser-friendly or DazStudio-friendly, due to
|
|
incorrect assumptions that those programs have to make about the
|
|
underlying joint rotation setup.

USAGE RIGHTS:
|
|
|
|
CMU places no restrictions on the use of the original dataset, and I
|
|
(Bruce) place no additional restrictions on the use of this particular
|
|
BVH conversion.
