WX Motion Viewer
WXMV is a program for viewing, blending, interpolating and analysis of BVH (Biovision Hierarchy) motion files. It is written in C++ with use of STL, wxWidgets for graphical user interface and OpenGL for visualization of skeletons. Thus the program is rather portable and it can be compiled for any common platform (maybe after some minor adjustments of the source). Free multiplatform GUI toolkit wxWidgets provides a native look on each platform.
