Hi,

I have been trying to do some constraints in houdini.

I read the old topics and also the help, and I`m seeing that is imposible (i think so) create an orient constraint with the blend node. I mean, works like in local space, it's fine for blend between parents, but not for orient or point constraint.

I think the right way is through the chops, but I don't know if I doing something wrong becouse doesn't work properly...

If someone could take a look to the .hip...

takk fyrir

Oks, I found it. After 2 days without any reply ;)

How to create Orient Constraint In Houdini CHOP`s:

-create 3 objects: A, B, C

-parent B to A. (A is the parent and B is the child :)) C will control the rotation of B.

-go to chop layout and create 2 nodes: object node and export node.

-put A on "Reference object" and C on "Target object".

-set what-ever-you-want in compute. In this case "rotation"

-In the export node, put B on "Node" and "rx ry rz" or "r?" in "Path"

-set on the state of the export node and that's it.

And now just move A and u will see the results.

Just play with the other modes of object node to obtain diferent kind of constraints.

Hope you find it helpful

;)
