Take a look here for information and discussion of this subject: https://github.com/powroupi/blender_mmd_tools/issues/60

The forked version of mmd_tools by powroupi is now much more developed and superior to sugiany's original version of mmd_tools. It can import and export both .vmd and .vpd.

@powroupi is the current developer of mmd_tools. You can find lots of great bug fixes and additional features in the version of mmd_tools by @powroupi: https://github.com/powroupi/blender_mmd_tools/archive/dev_test.zip https://github.com/powroupi/blender_mmd_tools https://github.com/powroupi/blender_mmd_tools/issues

Can you make some sort of visual tutorial for converting bvh to vmd because i have almost no idea as some of the instrustions is making me confuse like renaming bones but i have no idea where to rename them in blender

I made a tutorial about converting bvh to vmd and various other tutorials, which you can find linked here in the mmd_tools wiki (powroupi fork): https://github.com/powroupi/blender_mmd_tools/wiki/Links-to-mmd_tools-Tutorials

Sorry, I haven't gotten around to adding images to the BVH to VMD tutorial yet. My mmd_tools_helper add-on can be used to do a mass renaming of bones in Blender.

does the mass renamer helper can rename any bones like from PrioVr Mocap Studio?

No, if you download it, you can see the list of supported bone maps.

To correct myself:

The 3DS Max bone map is supported by mmd_tools_helper, so I assume that the mmd_tools_helper bones renamer operator should work with Yost Labs software, such as PrioVR or Yost Labs MoCap Studio (both open source).

"Below is a collection of sample BVH animation exports from the Yost Labs 3-Space Mocap Studio. They are compatible with 3ds Max biped naming scheme.
