Upon pressing "Import Avatar Model" button and choosing a .blend file the CustomAvatarBuilder will begin processing the model contained in the selected .blend file. Once the CustomAvatarBuilder finishes building the new Avatar Asset a folder will be displayed that you can copy and paste into the VR_MocapAssets folder located at:
%USERPROFILE%\appdata\LocalLow\Animation Prep Studios\AnimationPrepStudio_Lite\VR_MocapAssets
The avatar would then be available for motion capture by selecting it from the Avatar Browser list in Animation Prep Studio (Lite).
