Steps done in the video:
- get an animation
- retarget it to a mixamo armature
!!IMPORTANT STEP
ROTATE X -90
APPLY TRASNFORMATIONS
- export the retarget animation as bvh
- TEST IMPORTING THAT ANIMATION TO SEE IF IT WILL BE CORRECTLY IMPORTED WHEN USING "Forward -Z / Up Y"
- in sinmdm choose the advanced option "Open CMD"
after pressing this command you will be at the root of the addon folder
-get inside the "SinMDM-main" folder
cd SinMDM-main
-save the bvh in the folder "save" inside the addon folder "CEB_SinMDM\save"
- use a command similar to this (changing the path to where you saved your animation '--sin_path', that is inside the addon folder)
python -m train.train_sinmdm --arch qna --dataset mixamo --save_dir ../0_new_model/sitting_laughing --sin_path ../save/sitting_laughing.bvh
- wait for it to finish, on rtx3090 it takes about 40 minutes
- copy the bvh used to train in the same folder as the model that was created
- update the args file to point to the bvh on the same folder
- pack in a zip file
-load on the SinMDM addon

Great. Just a note, if you are going to use another animation that is not from Mixamo, you might have to look closer on the retargeting part, you might have to manually change some bones.
Success! thanks Carlos, I managed to follow along correctly with the same sitting and laughing clip. Im going to try some other clips now
