You will be able to do that and more but of course, being more granular you should expect an adaptation period that surely may be frustrating or even painful (like any transition) but I am sure you will see the posibilities and what is possible to do with Houdini out of the box. In terms of maths, I would expect you should be fine although you may want to take advantage of some tools by reinforcing some basic maths. This should be all you need for pretty much 90% of what you may be after. https://www.pluralsight.com/courses/houdini-practical-math-tips >>> >>> Also is there some sort of autorig generator and is there an equivalent to >>> character sets.

You can literally go from mesh to fully rig in under 30 minutes (depending how fast you are with your placement of the guide rig) and deployment of a fully ready asset. jb >>> ------ >>> Softimage Mailing List. >>> To unsubscribe, send a mail to [email protected] <> >>> with "unsubscribe" in the subject, and reply to confirm. >> >> >> >> ------ >> Softimage Mailing List. >> To unsubscribe, send a mail to [email protected] <> >> with "unsubscribe" in the subject, and reply to confirm. > > > > ------ > Softimage Mailing List. > To unsubscribe, send a mail to [email protected] with > "unsubscribe" in the subject, and reply to confirm. > ------ > Softimage Mailing List. > To unsubscribe, send a mail to [email protected] with > "unsubscribe" in the subject, and reply to confirm.
