The problem that I'm running into with my bvh importer is that when the joints are not all in the same plane, some of bones get a roll induced in them that messes up the animation (usually along the z axis). This roll is a local roll, and when the world roll is applied from the BVH data, it gets all...

Thanks, Thats a great word. Do you mind if I use it too? ;) I'm going to do my best to implement it as fast as I can. The good news-I'm open to suggestions on UI and how the back end should work. The bad news-I'm going on vacation back to the US to my parents house (which is kinda remote-no internet...

slikdigit, Thank you. The intent is use the same library decode as well as encode media files so that using an mp3 or avi for input in the sequence editor is possible. I looked at using a high level application (mencoder) and calling that from blender but found that to keep blender small and ensure ...

if it's gentoo, "emerge blender" is all you need. You may need to have ACCEPT_KEYWORDS="~x86" to get the latest version.

I started building the UI. Screen shots are at

Now for the fun stuff of integrating the new audio/video codecs. I'd love to hear some feedback. More to come.

in gentoo linux, you need to emerge nvidia-kernel, then emerge nvidia-glx. Then you need ot make sure that X is working with the nvidia kernel driver (see gentoo forums for how to do that). Once you got the X server working with that you need to emerge blender and you'll be fine.

I think the game engine would be very valuable on a hand held. That would be awsome for meetings...I mean free time.

My $0.02: If somebody were to port blender to pocketPC, that would be great, but the rasterization may not be the big problem (klimt looks like a good way to do that) but more an interface issue. What features would not be necissary/feasible on a pocketPC that are in a full-up computer version, such...

I recommend going with a clean source tree and using the scons build system. That will require python and scons installed on the system.

I'm looking at doing this, but I can't make any promises. I just started wading in the source code and don't know if I'm getting in over my head. It's something that I think that blender really needs.

I'm fishing for advice and opinions.

I'm considering spending some time working on Blender's audio/video support and a possible integration of ffmpeg for audio/video input/output. Has anybody already tried this or working on it now?

I think JMS's OBJ script is better than mine. I haven't been putting alot of brain energy into mine lately. That said, I'm all about collaborating to make the best scripts possible. If I can help, just let me know how.

Cheers,

Bob

ok, I'll look at the order of the rotations. I hadn't thought of that. Thanks!

Ideasman, I had used your script to create one that makes an armature and animates it instead of empties. However, I don't have it quite right. If you have time, would you mind taking a look and help me find the bugs? Thanks for your time. Cheers, Bob http://bane.servebeer.com/programming/blender PS...

I just saw your post. I really must read these forums more. Thanks for the link. I'll definitly look into it.

Cheers,

Bob

Edit:
This is a great package. thanks again for the help.
