meshsmooth Posted September 13, 2004 Share Posted September 13, 2004 I was wondering if it is possible to use the input from a USB joystick I just bought a PS2 clone controller for the PC. The next trick would be to incorporate the P5 glove An article about the P5 glove http://www.zzz.com.ru/index.php?area=issue...be23a2c7135a5c3 And for only $12 US!!! http://www.compgeeks.com/details.asp?invtid=P5 It has translation and rotation tracked and bends for each finger, perfect for puppetry. They may be releasing a new model and a left hand perfect for Lefties and two handed interaction. Combine Houdini with this and you have a perfect puppetry suite. The SDK for the glove that has been released to the public. The new buzz about this glove is it is now cheap and the SDK now allows access to the absolute position of the glove to be outputted, before only the relative position of the glove was accessible from the SDK.

meshsmooth Posted September 14, 2004 Author Share Posted September 14, 2004 Has anybody used any input devices other than a mouse to control parts of Houdini? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
anakin78z Posted September 15, 2004 Share Posted September 15, 2004 Has anybody used any input devices other than a mouse to control parts of Houdini? 13785[/snapback] though I haven't seen it, I've heard of people connecting midi keyboards and running them through chops. hmn... maybe I'll try that tonight. I'm probably missing some cable that I need, but I'll give it a go. Let you know tomorrow how that went. Also, at work here we had a setup where you could controll an object with a joystick in houdini. I'm not entirely sure how that worked though. It may have even been that we were actually running a flightsim in the background that was piping information into houdini realtime... I remember hearing something about that. I'll try to find out. -z Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
edward Posted September 15, 2004 Share Posted September 15, 2004 There's still the Fifth Glove and Unwinder CHOPs in the proto_install. Don't know if they still work though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
meshsmooth Posted September 15, 2004 Author Share Posted September 15, 2004 I guess some work with the pipeIn chop could get a generic joystick input happening. But I haven Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
