Houdini 22.0 Nodes Geometry nodes

Configure Rig Vis geometry node

Determines the input skeleton components that are visible for a KineFX character.

On this page
Since 19.0

This node creates visualization configurations for the input skeleton. You can create multiple configurations, where each configuration applies to a single joint or group of joints. As part of a configuration, you can hide the visibility of joints (and their links), poly lines, and control objects in the viewport. You also have the option of modifying how joint links appear in the viewport.

All the visualization configuration settings are inherited by the input skeleton’s HDA character.

Parameters

Configurations

This multiparm allows you to create and manage multiple visualization setups for the same input skeleton.

Group

A space-separated list of joints that use the visualization settings from the multiparm. This field accepts the @name joint name syntax, for example, a single joint like @name=rFoot or a list of joints like “@name=rFoot @name=lFoot @name=rKnee @name=lKnee”. If you leave this field empty, all the joints and control objects on the input skeleton will use this multiparm’s visualization settings.

Joint Display

These parameters determine the input skeleton components that are visible in the viewport.

Show Joint

When turned on, the joints and their links for the specified Group joints are visible in the viewport.

Show Polygon Lines

When turned on, the poly lines for the specified Group joints are visible in the viewport.

Show Packed Geometry

When turned on, the control objects linked to the specified Group joints are visible in the viewport.

Link Scaling

These parameters determine the width of the input skeleton’s joint links based on their length. This is a mapping of the link length (distance from parent to child) onto the range in the Width Low and Width High parameters.

For any link whose length falls between the Length Low and Length High values, its width will be scaled by the corresponding value between the Width Low and Width High values. Any link with their length outside this range will have their width clamped to the Width Low or Width High values.

These parameters are available when Show Joint is turned on.

Adjust the link scaling width

Length Low

The lower bound for the link length used for width scaling. Any links whose length is equal to or less than this value will have their width clamped to the Width Low value.

Length High

The upper bound for the link length used for width scaling. Any links whose length is equal to or greater than this value will have their width clamped to the Width High value.

Width Low

The width of any links whose length is equal to or less than the Length Low value.

Width High

The width of any links whose length is equal to or greater than the Length High value.

Inputs

Skeleton

The SOP skeleton to configure the joint (and their links), poly line, and control object visualization behaviors for.

Outputs

Output

The input SOP skeleton with defined visibility and visualization behaviors.

Note

These visualization behaviors are inherited by any parent HDA.
