i followed the lw to mb sequence posted in the forum, my one problem is when i export to lw my character takes on the initial pose of the mocap data and just stays there? it dosn't move.
everything seemed to import nicely, i plotted the animation?
i don't know what it could be, it obviously exported the intial pose into lw, but no animation is present?

Hey M.D., when you plotted your animation, did you select _FBX_Root, and right click and select select branch? If not, do so before plotting.

Also, while everything is still selected, "save Selection" to a new FBX. Then Mrege with FBX in LW.

i got it figured now.
it was a problem with importing takes. when i imported it i could either choose take 1 or LWtake1. the LWtake worked.
i don't really understand, what these takes are or why MB generates 2 different ones, but at least i can bring it into my scene:)

When you start a new scene in MB it created a take 001. when you import an FBX from Lightwave, it imports the take from LW and adds it to the MB scene. So you now have two takes...

Just delete Take 001
