QAvimator - bvh 3D animation editor Reviews

Am changing my rating from a 1 to 3, although I am being kind. This program will create animations for SL BUT, because of a bug in SL, this program will not show those animations correctly without using another program - BVHacker. I suppose you could set up the animations with qavimator and some trial and error, but do yourself a favor and download BVHacker as well, to "fix" the final animation before uploading it, you will save yourself a lot of grief and lindens.

I would say the biggest selling points of QAvimator are its simplicity and ease-of-use. Also, it's free. This little gem is full of promise, which is why I am excited to be its newest developer. However, Sourceforge will not likely see any more updates. QAvimator has moved to Bitbucket now.

The way I got this project to install in Ubuntu 12.04 was as follows: svn co https:[slash*slash]svn[dot]code[dot]sf[dot]net/p/qavimator/code qavimator qmake -makefile There was an error message that "TARGETDEPS" was depreciated in ~/qavimator/src/src.pro on line 88, and that "POST_TARGETDEPS" should be used instead. How I solved this was as stated in the error message as follows: 1.) I opened src.pro using gedit: gedit (path_where_you_downloaded_qavimator)/qavimator/src/src.pro 2.) I found line 88 and commented it out and inserted the update after it: # TARGETDEPS += ../libquat/release/libquat.a POST_TARGETDEPS += ../libquat/release/libquat.a 3.) I saved the file and ran: make 4.) This threw errors about GLUT dependencies not being met so: sudo apt-get install freeglut3 freeglut3-dev 5.) A repeat of step 3, produced no further errors and the following went without further hitches: make install 6.) From here all that was needed was to run the program from the command line: qavmiator Seems to run ok. Not sure how to use the program yet, but at least I got it running. :) So far this is the only BVH editing software that I have found that actually installs and runs under Linux. BVhacker doesn't work in wine any more.

good
