How the heck do you add a motion capture to a character in Carrara.  I read the Help and also the Carrara handbook but dont get it.

In Poser you just import the bvh file and its automatically applied to the selected character.

In Carrara I import a bvh file and nothing happens in fact I cannot even see it in the scene.

Please advise and thank you.

If this didnt work select the Model instance. But I think that its the hip the central point.

post links to bvh file and figure, iff possible, as they usually work for me.
I didna read the manual, but I read one tutorial that was about 80% correct,
which is enuff in the 3D bidness IMVHO.

Carrara 6:

1 - select the HIP from you character

2 - import the BVH file

3 - under import window set "Apply to Selected Skelegons" and hit OK

Now scrub your timeline and your character will dance.
