Goto 3d buzz - you have to log in first - then where you logged in will have a list of options - go to downloads and lokk at the second half of the Houdini video tutorials - head modelling should be the last one

I just downloaded H6.1.101 from the vislab site and it has a SOP called UVpelt - does anyone know how to make ot work as it come with no instructions/hints. Thanks

(I had been using UVunwrap to flatten out a character and apply a texture but it takes so long - any suggestions in this area would also be helpful)

Hi fellow Houdini users,

I'm looking to get started on a character animation project and I have a rough idea of how to capture geometry, set up bones etc … - but I do have some general questions. I have seen in various places (magazines, on screen …) that some set ups have a multi-boned spine - is this IK or FK? Are there any general rules to getting a good character set up? How can you get eye lids to follow an eyeball's surface and not intersect? (I also have a lot of trouble with colapsing elbows and knees - characters, not mine - especially at extreme bending of joints - any suggestions?) There must be methods for doing this - can anyone help? I have looked through all the tutorials which have been a great help but I'm looking for something a bit more advanced. Thanks

Matt
