I’ve been trying to put together some code in director that reads BVH data directly. I suspended the project temporarily, but am free to work on it again. I saw your demo and was really excited to see that you appear to have solved all the problems I was struggling with.
The project I am doing uses motion capture to record American Sign Language Animations. I’ve been using a lot of workarounds to get the data into Director, but I ended up using ViewPoint animations b/c I did not finish the BVH parser.
Please, if there is any way I can see the code for the motion capture parser, let me know. I am working on a new grant from the National Science Foundation and would love to have a partner who can handle the motion capture data.

If anyone is interested in more of what the mocap industry is producing then check out the guys at http://www.phasespace.com. They have created a realtime system that doesn’t need suits or to even be indoors. Their system gets 480 f/s with almost no occlusion or dropouts. Their costs are a bit high for personal use but easily within reach of even small schools and buinsesses. Interesting stuff with a ton of applications once you look into it.
