Motion Retargeting

#1

Why does some characterised bhv file (saved as fbx and imported) break/offset my characters limbs when I do a Motion Retargeting? or put it in a more simple way, they simply just dont match up!
Tryed all the reach sliders but they did not make a big difference.

There is a large disparity between the source image and the target you’ve shown. Is this on the same frame of the motion?

Try a Characterization without the Control Rig. A Character Input with the Characterized BVH as a source.

Hi Danilo,

Thanks for answering, Yes it is the same frame, the first one!

I`ve tried a Characterization without the Control Rig. A Character Input with the Characterized BVH as a source, but with the same result.

The character in the bhv file is faceing the positive X, but that should´nt matter.

<<The character in the bhv file is faceing the positive X, but that should´nt matter.>>

Actually, MB warns you that it wants a character to face Positive Z. If your T-Pose isn’t facing Pos Z, then you may be seeing a product of that disparity. Try setting the motion to Z pos and recharacterize. You may be very surprised with the results.

Thanks Danilo,

I roteted the bhv character so it faced positive x, then rotated the arms so it was in T stand when I charaterized it and that did the trick!

Thinking back on it now it all make sense, characterizing your sourse and target in the same pose.

Thanks again for your help!

No worries! I’m glad it worked out.
