I've been using Avimator and QAvimator now for a few weeks, mostly QAvimator (it seems more user friendly though they are basically the same). I've had a few problems which I've managed to solve mostly by trial and error.

I have one problem which seems to be proving rather more stubborn. Having created my animation, named it and saved it as a .bvh file I go inworld and upload the file. SL presents me with the small demo panel of the animation. More often than not the animation is not what I created. Head movements generally are pretty accurate however body movements are frequently different usually just standing there.

Take the example of my attempt at cycling. In Qavimator I have the model bent forward holding the handle bars and their legs cycling. In the demo and in the final animation they appear upright arms by side with legs pedalling away below them.

I've done a few that worked perfectly and began to develop the idea that maybe the model had to have their feet on the ground for it to work..but I just tried that and it didn't work iether..

Very frustrating..:(..has anyone else found this and come up with a solution..?


Thanks in advance..Perre..:)

Maybe the Animation forum would be the best place to post this.

Of course, you knew that already, as you've posted it there too.
