Motion Animation

These Humanoid Animation (HAnim) example models illustrate conversion from BioVision Hierarchy (BVH) files for Character animation (such as 1.bvh). BVH files are often produced using Motion Capture (MOCAP) techniques.

The HAnim version 2.0 specifications are published and freely available:

  8 X3D Models       X3D Model Descriptions
   BvhConversion1 Bvh Conversion 1 BVH file conversion: test case showing unmodified BVH-to-X3D conversion results using X3D-Edit import to create separate test scene 1.x3d. Correct parsing of all information in input file 1.bvh is confirmed by output file 1.bvh.txt.
   BvhConversion1Illustrated Bvh Conversion 1 Illustrated BVH file conversion: test case showing current BVH-to-X3D conversion results of "invisible" skeleton, with node visualization geometry later applied from X3dToXhtml stylesheet-produced HumanoidRootHAnimHumanoidReport.
   BvhConversion1Invisible Bvh Conversion 1 Invisible BVH file conversion: test case showing current BVH-to-X3D conversion results, without visualization geometry. Correct parsing of all information in input file 1.bvh is confirmed by output file 1.bvh.txt.
   BvhSeamless3dExport1 Bvh Seamless 3D Export 1 Seamless3d tool import of bvh file and export of x3d scene. Note use of single skin mesh, animated by unadorned skeleton.
   HAnim Displacer Examples This model illustrates use of the HAnimDisplacer node.
   Pirouette BVH file conversion: CMU example animation that also runs in three.js
   RotationTests Rotation Tests BVH file conversion support: test and visualize various rotations in order to properly configure converter from Euler angles to SFRotation values.
