Using sample Motion Capture files from Stephen McAvoy, I've just finished writing a
program to convert BVH files to POV.  Using my program, I can take a BVH file to an
MP3 file in about 15 minutes.

It only creates simple stick figures for the model, nowhere near what Stephen has
done with Poser.  However, I've designed it so that I can add better modelling to the
POV file after it's been converted from the BVH file.  I just haven't yet.

After the POV files were created, the only manual adjustments I made were to the
height of the ground plane, and the camera position.

I'm still trying to figure out how to get this kind of data to work for my existing
models (see "Counterforce" at the bottom of
http://www.irtc.org/anims/2002-01-15.html )
