kartel 0 Posted October 30, 2020 Hi All, Quick question about KineFx, i can import the FBX animations, combine them with the motion clip blend/sequence, then i use motion clip evaluate to finish. My question is, is there a way to edit (rig pose) an amination after the motion evaluate or the bone deform? As it seems i can only edit up till you use motion clips, or am i missing something. Thanks Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
edward 349 Posted November 14, 2020 Using a Rig Pose after MotionClip Evaluate should work. If you're modifying after Bone Deform, then you're editing the mesh so it's going to be harder. There's no difference about this with nodes in Houdini. Each node takes in some geometry and outputs some geometry. How the input geometry got that way is irrelevant. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
kartel 0 Posted November 19, 2020 Hi, Thanks for that, it worked, and very handy. Now i have a second issue, How do i smooth out the whole animation, is there a smooth option, as t have all the clips all tied together and animated. but its still needs an overall smoothing (or selected fram ranges), is there a way to do that in KineFX. Or do i need to bake it to keyframes (but i don't know either method) cheers Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Librarian 533 Posted November 19, 2020 I think That you can use Blend Function in Chops .you have Master Class with Guillaume Laferriere Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
kartel 0 Posted November 19, 2020 Ahh so if the one below is what you mean, seems i have to go into CHOPs, I was hoping there is an easier way. Is there no way just to bake the whole animation from 'BoneDeform' to keyframes, then apply some smoothing on the keyframes?. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
