Lesson 1 - Motion Capture Files
With the development of gesture controllers, haptic systems, motion capture systems, etc., on the one hand, and with the need of allowing virtual reality systems to inter-communicate through control data, the question of gesture and motion takes more and more importance. Motion and gesture file formats are widely used today in many applications that deal with motion and gesture signal. It is the case in domains like motion capture, character animation, gesture analysis, biomechanics, musical gesture interfaces, virtual surgery. Those formats are low-level formats, i.e. formats close to the signal produced by the capture system.
Existing formats that encode gesture and motion BVA and BVH file formats BVH stands for Biovision Hierarchical Data, which was developed by a motion capture company called Biovision. The BVA format (also developed by Biovision) is an older format which was the precursor to BVH. The BVH format is mainly used as a standard representation of movements in the animation of humanoid structures. It is currently one of the most popular motion data formats, and has been widely adopted by the animation community (probably because of its simple specifications).
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_motion_and_gesture_file_formats
The Biovision Hierarchy (BVH) character animation file format was developed by Biovision, a defunct motion capture services company, to give motion capture data to customers. This format largely displaced an earlier format Biovision providing skeleton hierarchy information as well as motion data.
As of 2008, BVH is widely used, however not all applications support importing and exporting files in this format.
Examples of software using files in BVH format:
- Lightwave 3D
- 3ds Max (version 9 or later)
- Blender
- Cobalt
- DAZ Studio
- Esenthel Engine
- Lifeforms
- Maya
- Poser
- Seamless3d Free open source modeller
- Second Life
- Avimator and its Qt port Qavimator
- Maxon Cinema 4d
- formZ
- Milkshape 3D
- Papervision 3D
- OpenQwaq
Lesson 2, Softwares used or Featured
For LDM Inc (Mia Jonita)
Within the Library We have under 3000 poses and Animations.
For LDM Inc (Mia Jonita)
- I custom design poses in Qavimator.
- Its good for beginners in creating animations and I was stuck as a model. For model photography of SL, i had a growing issue in finding special woman or sexy poses. I would find them too expensive or for pregnant woman/avatars. So i have a growing list to sell.
- See our other pages for galleries and info.
- At LDM Inc, Mia Jonita; Primary SL and Open Sim, Other worlds that use BVH are welcome.
- I Study Blender-I Began studying blender when i entered Open Sim work. So i study off and on thru the yrs, nothing steady.
- I distribute and test in world Daz Studio Poses -Public Domain, For personal or commercial use. This adds Reseller/Redistributor to my job title.
Within the Library We have under 3000 poses and Animations.
- more on Blender (software)
- Blender is a free and open-source 3D computer graphics software product used for creating animated films, visual effects, art, 3D printed models, interactive 3D applications and video games. Blender's features include 3D modeling, UV unwrapping, texturing, rigging and skinning, fluid and smoke simulation, particle simulation, soft body simulation, sculpting, animating, match moving, camera tracking, rendering, video editing and compositing. It also features a built-in game engine.
