These external links are provided for your convenience; we have NOT downloaded or tested these files ourselves.


Bruce Hahn has converted our data into MotionBuilder-friendly bvh, and 3dsMax-friendly bvh; they are hosted at cgspeed. Wow, thanks Bruce for your incredible work!

Mojo has converted Bruce's bvhs into Poser-friendly bvh. The dataset is here. Thanks Mojo!

Jennifer Sumbu Longe has converted our data, and mocapclub's, into six other formats: .dae (Collada), .mb (Maya), .max (3ds Max), .vns (iClone), .bvh (iClone), and .fbx (Motion Builder, Maya, 3d Max, Modo,...). The data is hosted at The Trailers' Park. Thanks for all the hard work, Jen! (You may need to scroll to the right to see the data.)

IAFilm Productions at the Manukau Institute of Technology is using our mocap in short films. They have converted some clips to Carrara NLA. Their work is here. Their movie "The House of Seville", built with a combination of keyframing and our mocap, was selected to run in the Philadelphia International Film Festival. Congrats!
