hi

- did this little setup to test mechanical rigging
setup works fine
but the bonedeform offset the inputgeo

- so I have to rotate the inputgeo to correct the offset?
(in 3dsMAX there is a "keep inital offset") is there somthing similar in houdini ?

or is there better way to set this up ?

In your rigaatribvops use the "look at constraint" node not the "look at(kinefx)" one.
it has an "Update offset" button.

Cheers

Thanks for sharing this! I think there are quite a few of us that would like to see more mechanical rigging examples, so take that as encouragement to keep the discussion going : )
