Character mapping file (.map) details

Character mapping file describes the mapping of bones for your chacter and motion data.

It is simple relationship between character's bone and motiondata body.

Here is the example of single bone mapping in .map file

James:Hips Hips_1

In mapping file, you specify motiondata body name first and corresponding character bone name next to it.

Delimeter is space.

Comment symbol is // (this should be in the very first two letters in single line. parser does not recognize it in the middle of line).

In above example mapping, "James:Hips" is the name of body in motiondata (.v file, James is the subject name of this motion and Hips is the body name.).

"Hips_1" is the name of character bone.

You can add all necessary mapping in .map file for single character.
