* Export the skeletal mesh from Unreal (right-click on skeletal mesh asset --> Asset Actions --> Export)
The [Carnegie Mellon University Motion Capture Database](http://mocap.cs.cmu.edu/)(short: CMU data) provides a large range of motion capture data in various ranges: human interaction between two subjects, interaction with the environment (playground, uneven terrain, ...), locomotion (walking, running, ...), or even physical activities (basketball, dance, ... ). This guideline shows how to import these CMU data into our Unreal projects.

## 1. Preparation Step
- Install [Autodesk MotionBuilder 2018](https://www.autodesk.com/products/motionbuilder/). It is available as a free trial for 30 days as well as under an education license, in case you are enrolled at a university.
However, you can also use the installed version on the modeling PC in our Lab.
- Export the skeletal mesh from Unreal (right-click on skeletal mesh asset --> Asset Actions --> Export), on which you want to map the CMU data. Per default, we provide a character called `Henry` (CharacterCreator model) in our character plugin, so ensure, the data is mapped to his skeleton as well.
- Finally, download the desired CMU data from the [CMU website](http://mocap.cs.cmu.edu/). Please download the ``.amc`` as well as the ``.asf`` file! Additionally, add a T-pose to the ``.amc`` file, like this
