This example project demonstrates the variety of tools available in Houdini 21 to create complex and robust character rigs.  

Using Houdini 21's new Auto Rig Builder, you can create a production ready rig within minutes.  And with the new Fuse Graph workflow, your rig prototypes can be easily merged into your main character rig.  You can take your prototype rigs and save them out as custom components in the Auto Rig Builder, or merge entire rigs.

We then use rig to create complex animations using hand-keyed animation, ragdoll and animation layers, and show how Kinefx can easily be added into the mix using the new APEX Animation from Skeleton Node.
