Hi guys~

I am houdini user for years but new to rigging. I don't have any relevant knowledge about rigging at all.

I confuse with Kine and Apex,Why there are two systerm for rigging? Which should I learn ? or learn first?

Thank you~

Hi, You should learn both. Kinefx nodes are used for setting up skeletons, deforming curves and modeling, and procedural animation.
Apex is used to set up complex rigs that are performant with easy to use controls, primarily for character animation.

You can start with Apex rigging tutorials, you will find that kinefx is used quite a bit in them anyway so no need to
focus on it separately.
