Hey everybody,
Just wondering if anyone has any insight on this problem… I’ve got a directory full of bvh files that are meant to be played simultaneously on different characters to make up my full scene. My goal is to start a blender scene with one makeHuman model, and then duplicate that model once for each bvh file, and load one bvh per model.
I’m doing fine with duplicating the models and putting them in the world where they should be, but when I get to the load_and_retarget step (bpy.ops.mcp.load_and_retarget) it ends up loading all the animations onto the first duplicate character made, and ignoring all the rest. Each time, the latest duplicate character is still selected, which I know because bpy.ops.transform operations work correctly.
This is (as far as I can tell) my last stumbling block, so any help would be most appreciated!
My code is below. The XML part of it is there because I’m saving an XML file out of my animation source application which gives the characters their world transforms. Everything is working fine except the load_and_retarget step.
Thanks!!
