tomtm Posted August 5, 2021 Share Posted August 5, 2021 Hi, I try to pin a trolley (RBD) to the hand of an animated alembic character mesh, it should pull this object. The pinRBD constraint just works with static mesh, I can't find out how to pin it to the surface of the animated mesh. Any help would be very appriciated.

tomtm Posted August 6, 2021 Author Share Posted August 6, 2021 Hi, thanks a lot for all the hints. I tried it with Glue Adjacent pieses. It works somehow but I can't believe this is the solution :-) I thought it should be easy for Houdini, or maybe I have a complete blackout. I added the Scene, the Character Alembic and the .hip Any modifications would be welcome. Greets Tom Character_Walk.zip Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But Houdini is so complicated with this case. Sidefx should have something like in vellum with simple pin to "another" geometry method. I never would have found out by myself. But this is a great setup for this. It could be used for truck trailers and my other setups. Thanks & Greets Tom Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
