Exchanging a BVH File with Third-Party Software

Once you have exported an animation in BVH format, you can import the file in third-party animation authoring software, edit the animation, and export it again in BVH format.

Important: Make sure that you do not modify the human's skeleton in the third-party software, otherwise you will not be able to re-import it in Human Animation Studio.
