Oliver/Tim, best way to contact will be to contact Michael Goldfarb directly via Discord (with a direct message or by tagging Michael on a public post). Michael heads up the rigging tools and is involved with the design of the new CHOPs based constraints systems.
This route will give you far quicker feedback than going through support. jm On 2 November 2017 at 13:08, Artur W <[email protected]> wrote: > Hey, > > Maybe drop a line to Houdini devs, because from what I heard they're super > helpful. > > Artur > > 2017-11-02 13:51 GMT+01:00 Tim Bolland <[email protected]>: > >> Haha that's literally what I'm trying to.
