hcs Posted June 24, 2014 Share Posted June 24, 2014 Hi guys, I decided it was time for me to learn how to properly use constraint networks and I'm wondering if anyone has any pointers. Specifically, how to get constraints in a constraint network to behave like hinge constraints or some other type of constraint other than simple glue. I am using H13 and would like to be able to make constraint networks for RBD packed objects. Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ioness Posted June 24, 2014 Share Posted June 24, 2014 (edited) What I do and learned from other people, is to use an attrib wrangle vop to set different type of constraint (glue, spring ...) and apply them inside the dop network using the constraint network. I'm too interested in creating different constraint, as I'm still learning. constraint.hip Edited June 24, 2014 by ioness Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hcs Posted June 25, 2014 Author Share Posted June 25, 2014 Thanks, ioness. Still not sure how to get a nice hinge or pin behavior but a very high strength on a spring constraint seems to be working for me for the moment. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

exel Posted June 25, 2014 Share Posted June 25, 2014 masterclass bullet Check out the example files for the Cone Twist constraint in the Houdini docs, there's a ragdoll physics example that helped clear a few things up for me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hcs Posted June 27, 2014 Author Share Posted June 27, 2014 @wateryfield, I've actually already watched that masterclass and while I found it very helpful I'm still not clear on how to get the effect I'm going for with a constraint network. @exel, I'll take a look at those example files when I get a chance. Hopefully that will give me the key I need to be able to start experimenting and figure things out. Thanks for the responses guys Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
syzmatrix Posted July 5, 2014 Share Posted July 5, 2014 the file is so nice! Thank you a lot!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
