You can import HTR and BVH motion-capture files into 3ds Max CAT using the same method. The respective importer opens the file as a hierarchy of Box primitives with keyframes. You use the Capture Animation tool to map this motion onto your CATRig.

Interface

Load Animation:: When on, imports the full animation. When off, imports only the base pose in the motion-capture file.
Capture Animation: When on, automatically captures the animation, overlaying the new bones onto the CATRig. When off, imports the animation onto a new set of bones without affecting the CATRig.
CAM File: Click to pick a CAM file if you have already created one.
Start Time: The frame at which the imported animation begins.
Scale Factor: The scaling applied to the imported hierarchy when it is created.
Relative Bones Size: The size of the bones created upon importing.
