In this lesson, we're going to learn how to use the Character Picker and the Pose Library with some of the default characters in Houdini. The benefit of using the Character Picker is that it allows us to hide null object handles and clear the workspace, while giving us access to control handles. The Pose Library in conjunction lets us create and store poses for a character, as well as animation clips, that you can just click to apply onto your character. The default female character that we are using for this video, comes with several poses and animation cycles – which we will be taking a look at.

    I'm hoping more videos about the pose library and character picker come out for Houdini 17. I just started using the Autorig system in Houdini today, and I'm excited to dive deeper!
