(Apr 2008) - bvhacker is designed to give full control over every aspect of a bvh file. bvhacker is not intended to be used to create bvh animations - there are a selection of packages out there already, both free and commercial. bvhacker was initially created as a tool for converting existing bvh files into a format usable by games like Second Life. However, since it's creation, bvhacker has evolved into a tool ideally suited to preparing animations for uploading into Second Life.

Bvh files created using motion capture data can be found all over the web. I recommend Animazoo because the files there are free to use without legal obligation. Producing animations using real motion capture data can make the final results look far more natural than those produced using artificially generated motion data.

New features in version 1.4.0

• Knit function for looping now more accurate
• Slight pause put in after joint deletion to avoid crashes
• QC button added to give report listing common problems

In addition TrueBones is offering the Brand New JEDIBONES seperated into seperate BVH files as a FREE demo.
