Using Blender to convert BVH to X3D:

(This produces FBX, but how about X3D?)

There seem to be a few steps forward.

Download bvh zips from cgspeed (create script, possibly cloning “BVH to
FBX” Script, replacing FBX conversion with X3D conversion).  Use x3d-edit
or other to convert bvh to x3d.

Fix any time-out issues with connection to savage.nps.edu.

Fix John’s X3D-Edit.

I’ll probably be zonked till 3, then I’ll start work on download ugh!
