Blender Tutorial Connecting a Skin to a Motion Capture Armature Part 1
All files used in this tutorial can be downloaded from http://blender.freemovies.co.uk
Similar to the tutorial 'Importing Motion Capture Data (.bvh) Files and Setting Up a Simple Rig' but this time a complete skin is connected to the armature.
The techniques used in this tutorial are simpler and shorter and there is less information about the bvh file format (you will have to look at the other tutorial for that).
Key points -
How to import a motion capture file (bvh).
How to scale and rotate the resultant armature.
How to connect chains of bones (arms, legs and head and neck).
How to modify the animation using the dope sheet and how to save multiple actions using the action editor.
How to set the armature into a T-pose ready to connect to a skin.
How to append a skin into a Blender file.
