I am looking for the CHOPs_Training for Houdini 4.0 files to follow this tutorial:
http://www.3dlinks.com/tutorials/houdini/chops_billcap4.pdf [3dlinks.com]
Does anyone know where I can get these files? It is a SideFX document. The document is from “Houdini Training 4.0”.

WOW! Going old school. Well, even if those files existed, which I doubt they do anymore, they probably wont work. Even though CHOPs might not have changed a whole lot, the SOPs and such have.

If you really want to do it with CHOPs you can try Andrew Lowell's CHOPs pdf book - its really indepth and is specifcally aimed at capturing animation and animating with CHOPs, etc.

Hmmm. The mocap to rig seems to be the ever evasive question on this forum. I see the sticky at the top of the forum but would love a clean and simple demo of step by step how to get a bvh file onto a toon rig/auto rig. It supposedly is doable but solutions are bits here and bits there but no coherent clear demo on how to do it.

Just ranting a bit and hoping there is someone out there that knows where to find a good demo of how to do it.

To import a .bvh file, use the separate mcbiovision command line tool. This will generate a .cmd file which can then be executed from File > Run Script.
