brion Posted June 16, 2011 Share Posted June 16, 2011 Hi everyone! this is my first topic in this forum. I would like to ask what is usually the different phases of a character animation production in houdini. Is everything usually made inside houdini, or the animation and modelling are made with other softwares, and then imported into houdini? I know that there isn't a rule, but I would like to know what is the most common choice. two other questions: there are some guides in internet about animation inside houdini? I mean not the character animation tutorial inside the sidefx website, but a most advanced one that teaches you how to work with the curves, create animation cycles, etc... can you link me a guide about exporting animations from other softwares and import them into houdini? thankyou!

Chris3D Posted June 16, 2011 Share Posted June 16, 2011 As far as importing and exporting I have been using FBX and have found it does work very well. There is a plugin floating around for exporting and importing the standard bgeo format that Houdini uses for Maya, but I have not tried it. We also use obj because a number of the other cad packages in the office use it - so models are available. Hope this helps a little...
