The Harry Rig Project
Harry's rig being built using a variety of techniques, such as: Using the new Auto Rig Builder as a base, creating a complex eye rig using the new Fuse Graph workflow, configuring and creating a ragdoll setup, and merging separate rigs into a single rig.
Creating a separate wing rig using the Fuse Graph workflow.
Creating complex animations with a combination of hand keying, ragdoll and animation layers.

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.

Thanks so much for this, Max! Harry is a fantastic character. Do you have a breakdown or tutorial on how he is created? Also, thanks for all the training you have already posted. I rely on it so much!

Not enough Fairy-bots these days, I always say.

Hello. When I load the example project I get an incomplete HDA error.
This node is using an incomplete asset definition. It will not function properly until the asset library containing the full definition is installed.
Invalid source /obj/Harry_Rig_HDA/harry_rig_v2/file1.
(Error: Unable to read file "opdef:/maxro::Sop/harry_rig_v2::1.0?Harry_wingRig_01.bgeo.sc".

What am I missing?
Thanks
