Hello all,

I am currently trying to apply motion capture data, but have run into a slight problem. I have the .bvh files and I want to run the mcbiovision command so it can convert into the files read by houdini. However, I am using a Windows computer and it does not recognize a command like that on the command prompt, the terminal for windows.

Is there a path I need to set or some other step I need to do to make the command prompt recognize and able to run this command?

Please help, kinda urgent.

there should be a collection of command line tools in the Start Menu items for Windows (sorry don't have win running at the moment)
Start menu -> All Programs -> Side Effects Software -> Houdini version -> Utilities -> Command Line Tools
or something very close to that….

Okay, I found that and got it to work. Now my next question is this. Is there a way to clean up the bclip data, so that the rig starting rotations are the defaults and the rest of the motion data is based on that?

Right now it brings in a rig and all the bones have weird rotations on them, so if I want to apply the motion data to my own rig it won't work. Is there a process to go by that would work?

Does anyone know a way to read the channels from a file CHOP separately?

I want to read in the mocap bclip channels then move them with a math CHOP to start at 0. Any tips on how to do this?

on the Common tab of the Math CHOP is a parameter called Scope
you can limit the effect of the Math (or other) CHOP by putting just the channels you want to effect in this list.
