Convert BVH Files Online - Free Motion Capture Converter

BVH (BioVision Hierarchy) is a text-based file format for storing motion capture data and skeletal animation. The format defines a hierarchical skeleton structure with animation data specifying movement over time. BVH is a widely-supported standard for motion capture interchange across animation software, game engines, and research applications. Converting FROM BVH files allows you to use motion capture data in various 3D applications.

What is a BVH File?

The BVH format stores motion capture and skeletal animation:

  • Skeleton Hierarchy: Bone structure and relationships
  • Animation Channels: Position and rotation data
  • Frame Data: Keyframe transformations over time
  • Text Format: Human-readable structure

This format is the standard for motion capture data interchange.

Converting BVH Files

Our converter extracts data from BVH files and exports to standard formats:

  • FBX - Industry standard with animation support
  • GLTF/GLB - Modern format for real-time applications
  • COLLADA - Open 3D exchange format
  • OBJ - Universal 3D geometry format
  • STL - Standard for 3D printing
  • PLY - Mesh and geometry format

The conversion preserves skeletal hierarchy and animation timing.

Why Convert BVH Files?

Converting BVH files enables:

  • Game Development: Use motion capture in game engines
  • Animation Production: Import mocap into 3D software
  • Cross-Platform: Share animation data across applications
  • Research: Analyze motion capture in standard formats
  • Retargeting: Apply animations to different character rigs
