friscolives Posted February 8, 2014 Share Posted February 8, 2014 I am new to animation, so likely my issue is fairly common. I just installed PoserPro 2014, and made a short animation (maybe 2-3 seconds) and I'm having trouble loading it into SL. I downloaded the avatar mesh files, and I used them for the figures. I have two figures in a couples pose, and this is basic ally just a static pose to test if I run into a problem loading it. I extended the pose for about 2 seconds or so, then exported it as a .blv file to my desktop. When I tried to load it I got the error message "can not read root file. Use "hip"Not sure what to do. I did select "hip" as the body part in both figures, but again being a novice hopefully someone can shed a little light on this. Any help greatly appreciated.

Medhue Simoni Posted February 11, 2014 Share Posted February 11, 2014 SL only allows for bvh animation, and another file format called anim, which can only be created in Avastar, in Blender. So, basically, you need to make the animation a bvh. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
friscolives Posted February 14, 2014 Author Share Posted February 14, 2014 ty, i thought i was saving it in blv, but a closer look showed it was being saved in something else. I exported it and switched to blv, then finally was able to make and upload my first sl animation. baby steps, but a start. ty again Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
