Check this out folks. This is a great site to get High Quality Motion Capture in BVH format. There is also a BIG sale going on there right now with lots of new motions. TrueBones Motions work great in most 3D animation programs that import .BVH like 3DMax, Poser, Endorphin, I-Clone, Milkshape, FragMotion, MotionBuilder, Blender, and many more For more information or a free demo visit http://www.truebones.comThanks again and Cheers

... Can't say that I'll buy any more of these packs untill I can see some Decent Documentation for Fragmotion. Because After spending a great deal of time messing with it the motion did not do so good. Sure theres probally some way you could manually edit all 100 frames ... but if I had to do that.. Whats the point? Because for that much time it would be just the same to Anitmate it all your self. Now I could be absolutly wrong and all of this could work just as advertised
Maybe there really is some hidden setting or something that makes all the animation look beatiful instead of Garbled.....
( Maybe a just click here button and Walla models have perfect animations ) 
Untill I can see some documenation that shows that I'm disaponted in this software....  *** Teutonic Darkness ***

Could you be more specific by what you mean all garbled?
And also this must be an unrelated issue to trueBones because all trueBones are tested for quality before sold.
Can you provide a screen shot or a more detailed description of your problem?
And to which software you are dissapointed in because I am still unclear of your problem, Is it with TrueBones motions or with FragMotion?

Well I'm not sure , but I've bought the motions , and they are actually pretty good. I'm not sure exactly what your issue could be teutonic , but from reading that you say it's "garbled" , it soudns like it could be due to bad assignment of the vertices on fragmotion, you have to make sure they are all assigned and worknig properly , as well as that the model is made so it deforms decently, to test this out , move aroudn the arms and legs of your model once you've assigned the vertices , see if you see any bad stretching or deformations , if so , then your still going to see them when you load an animation file , so you have to keep tweaking the vertice assignments untill you can move the model around and it bends and deforms the way it's suppossed to , once thats done , you can save it , and then load any animations you want , and it should animate properly. I've tested the animations and they work very good.

I purchased the set a while back, and I can say they work in fragMotion just fine. If there is "garbling" then just as WDID said, it's probably an improper rig or the model is not built right. Arbitrary bones per vertex (FBX format and up to four) is in beta, now so you can use more than 1 per vertex now or at least when it goes public you can.
Well that maybe.. all models seem fine before adding the motions, tested on several models. same Efects.
So without some kind of documentation to refrence I have no way of knowing what could be the problem I have with the motion files...

Hi mrbones, Do you have one you could put up to test with, any motion would do and need not be complete anim set, just something to see how well this format performs for workflow. My Bad, found the Demo files... Nah, no luck, your site need its links updated or something so... Demo please. Woops...found it for real this time  ignore request thanks...

Creates a base skeleton, using the naming convention found in the Milkbones animations, allowing any Milkbone animation to easily be merged. Click and drag in the front view ( Currently: If created in other views makes a really flat useless skeleton!) to create the skeleton, sized to the area dragged.
Thanks,
for the link this I will have to look into.... 
There maybe hope for my motion files yet
