I've got a few .BVH files from Truebones but don't know how to use them in iClone 6. Does .BVH motion compatible with iClone 6?

You can convert them in 3DxChange like you would an fbx.

Really? Convert them one at a time or batch convert?

To batch convert .bvh files first import one that has a t-pose, then characterize it as non-standard, then go to the animations section and you can batch convert the rest.

You can only convert one motion at a time in 3DX, as R2 Studio mentioned, I found it's best if you can find a T-pose from the same source if possible and convert that first and save as a "T-Pose and Profile" for the rest of the conversions.  However some bvh captures will conform to other base T-Poses that came with 3DX, if not find the tutorials that show how to set a proper T-Pose in 3DX.  This part is important and will make or break your attempts for a fluid .iMotion in iClone in my opinion.  The only time I don't use a T-Pose is if I just want a pose instead of an animation.

Thx Kay, this is exactly what I need!

I think it's better to use Truebones Iclone .VNS profile to convert this. The preset in Xchange is Daz4Genesis, not from Truebones. The profile should be a PICS Rules File
