hatrick Posted March 7, 2011 Share Posted March 7, 2011 hey, As a blooody noob in terms of characterwork im wondering how to apply dynamics ore forces to a rig and it's skin.Something like constrained RBD's. For example simulating the charakter falling to the ground. Samples of endorphin software show the behavour i am searching for. Thx HT Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Netvudu Posted March 8, 2011 Share Posted March 8, 2011 (edited) that certainly looks keyframed. The term you are looking for is rag doll dynamics, but I have no idea how to implement this in Houdini...As you said I suppose you should take a serious look to RBD along with constrains. Let´s see if someone else has some kind of info on this... Edited March 8, 2011 by Netvudu Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Let´s see if someone else has some kind of info on this... i found some posts about motionbuilder dataexchange on sidefxforum and some requests for H12 so it seems there was no development on this so far in H11... in my case i'd just like to do a very simple setup so may RBD could work. How can i get the controlobjects of an autorig into a simple test RBD sim without care of complex constrain setups ? I think there's a lack on understandig network interaction on my side .... may you could bring me a little further on this.. thx HT Edited March 8, 2011 by hatrick Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It seems that is not the way to go ;( Als on objectlevel i'm a little confused by the way the bonelink behaves. cheers HT ps: lust click enable Edited March 10, 2011 by hatrick Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

THX again ! .. as a final question for today (hopefully) .. how to get positiondata up to scenecontext ?
