The conversion includes calibration preparation, MotionBuilder retargeting, SMPL24 extraction, translation-unit conversion, historical frame handling and sampling, HumanML263 features and video-based text annotations. The BVH companion also includes later SMPL-cache-to-BVH exports; these are not the original MotionBuilder batch outputs. Both views refer to the same source sequence IDs. Each archive retains detailed transformation and verification records.

Black. Its separate CC BY 4.0 component terms remain applicable; the animation retains Bandai's CC BY-NC 4.0. https://smpl.is.tue.mpg.de/bodylicense.html
SMPL-Model weights, shape blend shapes, standalone target skeleton/T-pose or FBX templates and Autodesk software are not included. Their separate terms apply: https://smpl.is.tue.mpg.de/modellicense.html
