Rhiggit and CMU BVH mocap?

[stevecullum]

I've been trying to get Rhiggit to work with a BVH Mocap (the motion builder friendly ones) file from CMU website, but I don't seem to be able to get a working re-targeting map. Always results in some error message and then the only thing that maps correctly is the MainRoot. Is it a case that unless all the bones are mapped correctly, then nothing gets mapped?

Has anyone else been able to get this to work?

Thanks

The initial orientation of your rig has to match the initial pose of the BVH data, or be very close.

I would make sure your offsets are visible (from the Animation toolbox button) as well.

Thanks for the suggestion, but still get nothing except the root moving. I would have at least expected the 'wrong' joints to move if the mapping was off.
What's a bit of a shame is that I found most of the Rhiggit tools to be very useable, but compared to Nevron the retargeting is a bit of a let down. The mapping panel doesn't allow you to select and check names of anything in the scene which is also a pain. I would have like to have got this working as the clean up tools for foot slides etc... are vastly superior to Nevron's.

Well I figured out why things were going so badly wrong! You have to remove from the map definition any bones not in use, then it worked OK! I guess that should have been obvious - DOH!
