Hi guys,
I created a custom rig for my character and wanted to encapsulate it in an HDA.
The problem is that after that the control geometry I setup for the rig cannot be clicked and moved.
When I created HDA I replaced RigPose node with ComputeRigPose and promoted parameters.
This allowed me to put the transformation manually by specifying the values in the parameter pane, but not by click and drag paradigm.
How Shall I setup the HDA correctly so it behaves like RigPose node?

Greetings!
Currently, in order to be able to interact with the joints inside your custom HDA from the viewport, you have to add to your custom HDA the rigpose state.
To do that, go to Type Properties on your HDA, under the Node tab, and paste this “kinefx__rigpose” in the Default State parm there. Now you should be able to use the ripose state and interact with your controls.
Cheers!

Hi!
These are all of the steps in order to get the desired result:
1. drop down a computerigpose node inside your custom HDA and plug into its input the joints that you wish to manipulate using the state
2. hit the “Promote Parameters” button on the computerigpose - this will promote the multiparm required by the rigpose to the interface of your custom HDA
3. add the kinefx__rigpose state to your custom HDA as described above
If you went through all of them and you still get the error, may I please ask for the scene so I can take a look
?

Hi guys,
Sorry to post this here...
I'm doing hda for human fingers and it has multiple rigpose nodes for(fist,splay,relax.etc..)and i blend them to the original skeleton with skeleton blend.After that i have a rig pose node which is to give the user individual ctrl on each fingers and i want to expose only that rig pose node onto my hda.
so the problem that encountering is once i go to hda level its showing up all my rig pose nodes.
inside the hda
outside the hda
It would be great if some one could help me solve this issue as i just want expose and see only final rigpose nodE.
Thank you.
Cheers,
Ganesh

Hi Gany,
Have a look as this video :
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UJG7KH_RG1Y [www.youtube.com]
If you follow these instructions there's an explanation on how to edit the python code of your HDA to make it behave as rigpose while allowing your asset to display just a specific rigpose.
For example if you want to just display "rigpose2" you would use this kind of code (around line 400)

result = set() for n in posenodes: if n.name() == "rigpose2": crp_node = n.node("computerigpose1") else: continue

Hey,
I have actually found an easier solution for disabling the visibility of the rigpose node within the HDA.
The only thing you need to do is to go to the node you want to disable, go to the settings tab, and create a new configuration in the 'Rig Visualizer' folder. Then you can deselect everything if you want it to disappear completely.
It seems like it's a new feature in Houdini 19.

Oya..That's Awesome!. Thanks for letting me know about this new feature.so we don't have fiddle around with KineFX ripose python state anymore

Just to piggyback on this a bit as its in the kinefx__rigpose realm.
I've recently moved a rig I was setting up from 18.5 to 19. There were a couple of issues with reparenting nodes, but I've been able to get those working.
Now I'm hitting this every time I try to select any of my controls on the HDA:
