hey ppl, been tryin to use mocap data with maya 4 using the domintarix plugin, and boy do i have questions for u guys.

1. I wanted to apply two diff mocap files onto a single char rig, so what i did was i took 2 seperate files and opened bvh files in each of em(two distinct movements) ,then copied the keyframes frm one of em and pasted em to the other(merging the animation in the process).
Now, problem is the point of origin of the two animation is diff, so we have this sudden jump when the time slider moves across frm keyframes of first anim to the second, so in a nutshell my question is that how do i merge two seperate mocap files onto a ik bone setup w/o rigging it repeatedly?

2. is there a free dominatrix plugin for 4.5??

3. anyother plugins/scripts which can help me out here with handling mocap data.

thx in advance!!!

i don't know the dominatrix plug-in, but your first question seems to be not specific to that plug-in (what does that plugin do?)

the jump you want to get rid should be pretty obvious in your fcurves.
unless we are not talking about major inconsitencies between the takes you should be able to manually adjust the fcurves of your main character controls to get rid of the jump.

or make clips of the two separate animations and try to use trax for blending. but minor offests can be corrected manually .

The hous eof moves guys are pretty helpful they might have an idea on how to solve your problem.

You'd have to ask the makers of it over at house ofg moves and I doubt it is free.

What format are you using? Most plugins for Mocap are only for i/o. You might want to check out KayDara FilmBox as it seems to be the industry standard for manipulating captured MOCAP.
