Blender Motion Capture

Overview

Import, process, and retarget motion capture data in Blender using Python. Work with BVH/FBX mocap files, track camera and object motion from video footage, solve 3D camera paths, and clean up animation data — all scriptable from the terminal.

Instructions

1. Import BVH motion capture files

import bpy

bpy.ops.import_anim.bvh(
    filepath="/path/to/mocap.bvh",
    target='ARMATURE',
    global_scale=1.0,
    frame_start=1,
    use_fps_scale=False,
