Okay 2 questions.
What node am I supposed to transfer? A capture layer paint node or a capture metaball node?(I am trying to put the node after the weight switch shown in the picture)
And what kind of deform node should I use for the clothes? Deform, Deform Metaball or Deform Muscle?

Okay by everyones help I finally got to this point. I copied the weight file directly and recaptured it and then locked the capture meta node.
Now all I have got to do is input the “metaCaptGroups” into the attribute transfer node.
Does anyone have any suggestions of how to do it?
Thank you very much everyone for a long time by the way

Sorry and one more error. When I attach a capture layer paint node it seems like the weight is not properly transferred.
Can I get any help for this as well please?

Okay and Capture meta has no points, primitives or vertices so I am guessing that I have to put in the right input in the Metaball SOPs?
Because it does have the right amount of points, primitives and vertices in the file read in skin.

If you change something above the capture meta sop
you have to unlock it and you must got to the frame
which is set as “Capture Frame” in the capture meta sop.
For transfer the order is maybe not correct.
Was Metaball set as target, while capturing?

+ The muscles should be very close to the skin, otherwise nothing is captured
and you have to paint it all.

Hi, Matthias,

just wanted to state this here: Thank you for the patience and great support you are doing here on the forum - I am a Houdini greenhorn myself and merely fiddling my way through a completely new world. Seeing someone so willingly chiming in and helping another newbie is *great* moral support!

@Almina: I am lost about how to really help you. One thing would be to just get your setup working for you, but I am afraid that wouldn't really *help* you, because you seem to want to cross the finish without running all the rounds. The other approach does not seem to work for you: Trying to get you over the steps involved in a complete setup.
If your scene, even in a simplified version, is too big to upload it here, why don't you use a free Dropbox account or something like that? It is really hard *guessing* what is going wrong, especially when you seem to miss (really basic) steps like actually enclosing the geometry in the capture regions.

Please try to help us helping you. Break down your setup. E.g. cut off everything but an ARM. Understand how to rig and cloth-rig that. Then transfer what you learned from that to the rest of the body. Learn procedurally (sorry, couldn't resist)

Marc

Thank you Marc and Matthias and sorry for the inconvenience when you are trying to help me…
And Thank you for pointing out drop box! Never thought about that!

Here is the link! Please tell me if you cannot download the file or any problems!

Hi malbrecht, many thanks :-)

@Almina, I can have a closer look today in the evening,
but first look says:

/obj/Main_Character_deform_rig/skin/file__read_in_skin

is missing…. and: is this a v13 Biped AutoRig?
The Main_Chracter.otl or where does it com from?

That's where you should have a closer look maybe.

The file for the file__read_in_skin is the FinishedWeights.bgeo

Yes this is a biped auto rig. Sorry I might haven't told you that before….
But I think it is 15 though since my Houdini is the newest one.
I didn't know if the otl file matters but I put it in the download file anyways. Sorry…

Yes.. I am trying to transfer the FinishedWeights.bgeo file from the skin to the clothes…

Ok, got it working… I can have later a deeper look :-)

Maybe the OTL file is from the biped rig but I thought since the weight is baked onto another file and the animation proxy is there as well. I may have not needed it but I didn't want any errors so I put it in the file anyways.

Thank you so much Matthias! I appreciate it!
