I have new cameras, the new software and a new version of Poser, and when I export a BVH from Arena and bring it into Poser it looks great--rock solid....however, as I discovered when I imported a motion with the character bending over, I found that the Arena data apparently has a bend for "chest" but doesn't account for an additional bend for "abdomen" between the chest and hip. Is there any way to get Arena to export this information? (I can get a motion into Poser via Daz Studio, but it's not as clean as the bvh straight out of Arena).

Thanks--Tim

Found the solution: there's a little check box on the Arena bvh export that turns on/off "single joint spine" (needs to be off). For Poser users, the other thing you need to do is open the bvh in a text editor and change "ab" to "abdomen" and then you're good to go. I'm using the latest version of Arena, Poser Pro, and Daz Michael 4, and am getting excellent preliminary results.

Hi, thank you very much for the advise.
