I have a character that I am moving from Max to Houdini and the Collada export is not going well. I have to rescale the character and as well as change the bone structure, so I only need the geometry anyway.

That being said, where can I find info on how to take an existing character and rig it for use in Houdini?

Arghh! Nevermind.. My help menu was taking me to an old help page, I found the page with the “Current” documents which has more tutorials on it, including how to use capture geometry.

You might also want to try FBX as well. I think character rigs have more things transferred in Houdini's FBX importer than Collada's.

I may try FBX again, I think I had. But I figured since I have to re-rig this model anyway to get the structure aligned with Torque, I might as well learn how to rig a character with Houdini as well. Easier to fix problems later, if I know how to create them. But will try FBX later just for the heck and see what it does.
