Hi Chris, I get garbage when I try Rob´s walkthrough with the xsisamples actions and the armoured man? Both in 2012sp1 and 2012sap. nuked my prefs but no dice.
The character is pushed and magled way off screen, looks hurt and that´s it. It would be nice if the Motionbuilder Template would be MOTOR tagged for *.bvh already to have something to derive/learn/transfer from. The COG/Pelvis/Spine tagging bit seems a bit foggy in the docs, too. Of course, I may do something wrong but it still seems not correct. I´m trying the MocaoToRig now, bvh>Motionbuilder Template.

Motor comes with support for the different XSI built in rig. Note: diff rigs might perform slightly different because of the difference in the tagging.

Do you guys have a good link to freeware Mocap sources? What rig layout do you guys use to be most flexible? Is there something like a "default Motionbuilder rig" I should look into and if so, is it that what you´d suggest to base things on? I´d like to end up with one rig (male/female) I can test human motion data on and for building a library of "slap-on motion". Any specific tips or hints to a better approach? Cheers, tim
