Ohio State is in the process of revising websites and program materials to accurately reflect compliance with the law. While this work occurs, language referencing protected class status or other activities prohibited by Ohio Senate Bill 1 may still appear in some places. However, all programs and activities are being administered in compliance with federal and state law.

File Formats

The area below contains sample motion capture data to download plus useful scripts. The data is provided in three different formats. They are *.amc/*.asf, *.c3d, *.tvd, *.txt. All files are stored zipped. Sample movies are 320x260.

c3d: Reconstructed 3D data from the Vicon IQ. Can be used in MotionBuilder, Maya or any 3D program to drive skeletal or other data.

FBX: The main export option for bringing the mocap data into MotionBuilder, Maya, Unity 3D, etc. This format allows saving mocap data or markers and/or sleleton (translation and rotation). FBX can also carry a mesh with image based textures or color per vertex, as well as virtual cameras.

bvh: Skeletal motion files created by attaching the c3d data to a bvh format skeleton in MotionBuilder. The bvh file defines both the skeleton and the motion data all in one file.

amc: Same as bvh except it is a different skeletal format

txt: Comma or space delimited files that are basically x,y,z translation data derived directly from the c3d data from the Vicon Blade software.
