Loose name matching
Hips is Hips whether the file says hips, Hips, mixamorig:Hips, or Hips_01. Case, spaces, underscores, and prefixes are all forgiven, so most rigs line up with no renaming.
BVH + MechaPaint
Motion capture onto your rigged model. Load a .bvh and the model moves, whichever rig it came from.
WHY MECHAPAINT
Mocap plays on any rig with standard bone names
A BVH file is pure motion, a skeleton and its rotations frame by frame, with no mesh. MechaPaint loads one onto the model already on screen, matches its joints to your model's bones by name, and carries the model's own rest pose under the motion. So a take recorded in Glycon, Rokoko, or Mixamo plays on a Daz, Mixamo, iClone, or hand-rigged character. Then lock any frame as a pose and paint the model in it.
Rest pose aware
The model's bind rotations ride under the file's motion, bone by bone, the same math I use for live retargeting in Glycon. Arms and legs land where the actor put them.
Y up or Z up, read right
Blender writes Z up, most mocap tools write Y up. The reader tells them apart from the skeleton and converts, root motion included, scaled to your model.
Paint in motion
Scrub the take, lock a pose, and paint the stretched and folded surfaces as they really look. Export the rig and clips with the model as FBX or GLB.
PIPELINE
Mocap to painted character
01
Open a rigged model
FBX, GLB, or DAE with a skeleton. The Animation panel appears.
02
Load the .bvh
Animation > Load..., pick the BVH. It plays at the file's frame rate.
03
Pose and paint
Lock a frame, paint, export with the clip included.
Record the motion anywhere. Paint the character here.
