I have motion data in a txt file, want to use as motion commands for my animation...

Hi all,
I have been working with blender for like a few days now and I still cant tell if blender is the solution to my problem. Hope someone can help me.

I want to create a movie of two helicopters flying in a room. I have the motion data in a file ( (1) time, (2) displacements in x,y, and z, and (3) rotation around x, y, and z as well). I would like to input my data to blender such that the two helicopters move accordingly to my data at every instance of time. I dont need to have a highly fancy movie, but I DO NEED the helicopters to fly exactly as my data, which I got form a motion-capture-like sytem.

I have my data in a “txt” file and I guess I can easily change it to other formats. The sampling rate of my data is not that important, since I sampled at 30 frames per second.

Does anyone can tell me if I can import “txt” files to blender, and use it as motion points in my animation? If so, how?

Thanks!:o

Open any bvh file with text editor and open your txt file with text editor, if the formatting is the same, just change the TXT extension with BVH and it will work.
