BVHViewer is a robust visualization tool for the Biovision Hierarchy (BVH) animation format. Next to some minor bug fixes, the new features in version 1.1 allow for even faster browsing through a directory of BVH animations. Please check it out and let us know what you think.
Although there are (many) viewers to be found on the web, this is one of the few that supports:
- All possible rotation orders
- Local joint positions (Xposition, Yposition and Zposition) for all joints
- No assumption on hierarchy of framerate
- Fast browsing through a directory of BVH animations (using the PageUp and PageDown buttons)
Local joint positions are supported by the format and allow for bone scaling, making it ideal for Kinect output. For example, the exported BVH files from Brekel Kinect (http://www.brekel.com) can also be viewed.
The viewer is based on Ogre and can be found at http://bvhviewer.developmentinmotion.nl/.
