Houdini 20 Apex rigging skinning question July 9, 2024, 4:36 a.m.

You can use Capture Layer Paint as well.

On capturing a close models June 24, 2024, 7:11 a.m.

Here's an option to get cleaner captures in this process:
- for geometry to be captured, promote the variant attribute to prims
- loop over that geometry, using the primitive variant attribute to split pieces
- within the loop: set a point group on your skeleton based on the current variant attribute, then limit the joint capture proximity to only capture with that group

Updated HIP attached.

Can we use Channel Prims in APEX rigs? June 10, 2024, 4:21 p.m.

Is it possible to access the animated Channel Prims in APEX rigs (within our character's Base.rig)? I'm thinking for uses like finding a transform animated at a different time, eg to look ahead for an auto-stepping rig. It looks like the "ch" APEX nodes can find the value at a chosen time, but I'm not sure how to get the channels, or if it's even possible.
