I have figured out a few more things about how to convert CMU bvh files to vmd. The 'hip-uncorrected' bvh files are more MMD-compatible than the 'hip-corrected' bvh files. 'Hip-corrected' means that the resting pose (Blender edit-mode pose) of the hip bone will be located at the world origin(0,0,0). These BVH files have been 'corrected' to make them compatible with DAZ characters whose rest pose hip bone location is at the world origin(0,0,0). MMD models do not have their center bone located at the world origin, however, so the 'hip-uncorrected' BVH files are more compatible with MMD models. The CMU bvh files have a frame rate of 120 FPS (120 frames per second).

VMD animations normally have a frame rate of 30 FPS. To correct the frame rate, you need to manually set the frame rate of your Blender scene to 30 FPS. When you import the BVH file, you need to enable the Scale FPS option to change the frame rate from 120 FPS to 30 FPS. In the CMU BVH animations, the character's rest pose (edit mode pose) is a T pose with the arms outstretched at a 90 degree angle from the body. MMD models have the arms rotated downward at a 45 degree angle in an A pose (or collar bones rotated down 5 degrees and shoulder bones rotated down 40 degrees). To convert the animation from being T-pose-compatible to being A-pose-compatible, before you export the BVH animation to VMD, go to the first frame of the animation and rotate the character's left arm 45 degrees, and rotate the character's right arm -45 degrees.

When you export the animation to VMD, enable this export option: 'Treat Current Pose as Rest Pose'. MikuMikuMoving does import/export of bvh and vmd. Blender with the MMD tools add-on by powroupi can do import/export of both bvh and vmd.

I don't think that you can find any bvh files which have the MMD standard Japanese bone names though. Renaming of bones is needed. So there isn't a perfect solution yet, but I'm sure it is only a matter of time. There is a Blender add-on which (I think) is called Motion Capture Tools, which can be configured to re-target an imported bvh animation to a skeleton which has different bone names.

ANNOUNCEMENT: Over 2500 free human motion BVH files now available at cgspeed.com July 22, 2008 I'm happy to announce the free release of an enhanced BVH conversion of the entire set of 2548 human motions from the Carnegie-Mellon Graphics Lab Motion Capture Database. This is a large set of professionally-captured human motions of a wide variety of types, suitable for use in animation software, which has not previously been available in BVH format.

The emphasis on this release is to produce BVH files that can rapidly be used in MotionBuilder for motion retargetting. The files are free to use worldwide for any purpose. Advantages of this BVH release over the original Carnegie-Mellon data: - This release has the motions in the more commonly used BVH format rather than the original ASF/AMC format. - T-poses: Every BVH file has a T-pose added as its new first frame. The T-pose faces the positive Z axis and therefore is MotionBuilder compatible.

- Joint renaming: As many joints as possible have been renamed to be compatible with MotionBuilder's joint naming conventions. This renaming makes it much easier (faster) to use the BVH files in MotionBuilder.
