Hi,

I am trying to extract the transformation/rotation from a RBD object, and then bake and tweak the animation.

I was able to extract the information using the Dynamics CHOP, and then export it to an object.

I thought I was suppose to be RMB click on the CHOP node (I tried both Dynamics and Export node), select to tweak the animation keys.

But I keep getting the error message saying

Cannot edit: CHOP does not have enough data.


I even get the same error with the ExtractTranfroms sample from the Houdini help.

Did I miss something?

Attached is the test .hip file, I would appreciate if anyone have time to take a look and let me know what did I do wrong.

In the file, /obj/groundplane_object1 and /obj/tube_object1 are all RBD objects. /obj/box_object1 is the object that gets the channel exported from the CHOP.

Ultimately, I want to bake the RBD animation into keyframes into the box_object and then tweak the keys to my likings.


I am using Houdini 9.0.765

Thanks,

michael

Make sure the flag is set on the transform node you want to work on. Highlighting the {xform} node only shows the parameters in the parameter pane. You need to set the node to for the handle to appear.
