Motion capture animations to Clo avatars?

Hi there,

So are trying to use bvh (motion capture) files in Clo3D. Clo3D does not support BVH files natively. So we started using the tutorials and related information Clo and Mixamo provided.

Currently we are trying the following: Export a Mixamo provided character with animation as collada and FBX and import this in Clo. Then we try to save the animation as a MTN file as described here:

https://support.clo3d.com/hc/en-us/articles/115000531948-3D-File-COLLADA-Import

This doesn't work with the collada file but does with fbx. But we then can't use this (MTN) animation with the Clo provided characters. It seems the MTN files are specifically for the character only? It's not interchangeable with other characters?

Are there any hints in how to get this done? Perhaps even using the SDK or Python API?

  No the motion files are specific to the CLO3D avatars, as there are also copyright licenced elements to the avatars, so you maybe also need to check that if you are doing commercial work.

  You won't be able to save a custom character as a CLO3D motion file as that (file format) is only associated to their CLO3D rigs and custom characters used internally - so that is a no go.

   

  If you are taking in a custom character from external software why not use alembic or animation mesh vertex cache bound to a custom fbx or obj character model, then record the cloth track in the animation and export just that item and mesh vertex cache and bring that back together in your external software with the original character. Easy to do - rock solid.
