Discussions about MakeHuman, Blender and MPFB. It is ok to ask for general Blender support here, even if it isn't directly related to MakeHuman

Does anyone know of a FREE bvh reading program for windows

Double post with the Off Topic section.

I just need something that will tell me how many frames a bvh animation is BEFORE I import it into blender so that I can adjust the blender timeline. As it is any frames beyond what you have the blender timline set to just get cut off. As if they are not in the file. I know this becasue I tried importing a bvh and it did not look right so I lengthen out tha timeline from the default 250 frames to 500 frame and reimported the same file from scratch and viola there were more frames.

I have BVHacker. It works but the screen for it opens up full screen on my laptop and cannot be resize( I have tired) so the bottom of the screen where the number of frames of the .bvh file is cut off.

I have tried avimator and qvavimator. Both of them crash at random times.

BTW Makewalk is GREAT. It has handled about 90% of all .bvh files that I have used it with WITHOUT ONE hiccup. The GSOC bvh import addon for blender fails about 75% of the time. And some guy actually got PAID to make that one a few years back.

There is a way that you could try ...

Open the BVH file with a simple text editor (like Notepad) and scroll down until you see something like this :

MOTION
Frames: 1034
Frame Time: .0083333

This file has 1034 frames and is built to run at 120 frames per second (1 / 0.0083).

I wrote a little VB program that does it for me.
