Does anyone know how to do influence objects to deform a skin? You can do this in maya so I assume you can do this in Houdini also. The idea is basically that as the influence object, say a muscle, collides with the skin the skin deforms around the object. Does anyone know how to do this? Also if anyone knows how to do cloth and fur in Houdini I would be interested in knowing how or where I can get information in these areas for Houdini.
