Hello everybody,

after a unintentionally break i´m back.
On Saturday, i started my second try to get my MotionCapture files for my game.
And... it works ;). 103 animations waiting for editting now.
Nice work ipi and thanks for the support.

Now i´ve a other question. At the moment, i try to get a perfect loopfile of a walkcycle. Bhv-files are not perfect for looping cycles :).
Normally i work with blender. I can interpolate the keyframes, but this is not perfect for my cylce. I must do to many manual settings to get a half acceptable result.
Ipi Studio has some options for smooth and so on. Exist a possibility to create a cycle with the ipi Studio?

Or exist a good Software to create a loopanimation on easy way?

I hope you can help me :).

I wish a nice day and see ya.

There are programs available that can do this. In Animeeple, for example, you can construct a cycle by importing the motion as a clip applying a Loop Block to it. Here's the tutorial:

http://www.animeeple.com/documentation/Loop_Block

You can import iPi .bvh data to Animeeple and export the data as .bvh, .fbx, or .dae. I'm not a Blender user but I'm sure these formats can be used in Blender.

Generally speaking, you can create loops in 3D apps that have a non-linear editor. Motion Builder, for example, is an excellent tool for this sort of thing. Lightwave 3D can do this too using the built in Motion Mixer tool. I would look at Animeeple first though; it's a decent little program with some powerful features (retargeting works well in Animeeple,) has great support from its developers, and it's free.

Hope this helps.

G.

Also in Animeeple is the Treadmill block which zeros the forward motion which might be appropriate for your use I don't know.
