Greetings,
I gave your file a go and tried exporting the sim from the “fbxtest_fbx” subnet using normal export to fbx. File/Export/FBX. I had to change the root bone to a simple null and now Unreal seems to read it properly.

Work in Progress » Generate Motion using CHOPs

This project represents an experimental approach to creating motion. I used the channel operators in Houdini 16.5 to generate a motion library for the mech model.
All the motions are built using CHOP nodes so they are fully procedural.
The main idea was to try, on one hand, to create procedural motion that resides in a network, like most other stuff done in Houdini. I wanted to have access to it at all times and package it nicely into an HDA that I could reuse on other similar rigs without retargeting. On the other hand, I wanted to try and move away from the keyframing approach and come up with a faster solution where motion capture can not be used - or is less convenient to use.
All in all, the results look promising. I am working on multiple versions of this system at the moment - trying to use it for organic meshes as well and also looking it other ways to properly generate the motion, faster and better.

addysmithThank you for the response!
OpenGL 3.3 support.
The card has OpenGl version 4.0. As far as the driver goes, I updated it recently. I am not sure if it meets the openGl requirements but I will check.

twodI will try that!
You can try running hgpuinfo in the command shell. It'll tell you if the GPU is capable of running Houdini (in requires GL3.3, and prefers GL4.0, which the GPU should be capable of with recent drivers). Is there another GPU in the laptop, like an mobile AMD or Nvidia? If so, I think you can go into the driver settings and instruct it to use the discrete GPU for Houdini (each driver settings is different, but it should be in Power or Applications, something like that).
If not, maybe try updating the Intel driver for the GPU. Unfortunately it's one of the more difficult graphics drivers to update as Intel's driver section isn't as streamlined as AMD's and Nvidia's. But with a bit of searching you should be able to get the correct driver and try it out.
Good Luck!
Thank you very much!

twodThis is the CPU that I am currently using.
Do you know which Intel CPU you're using? Some of the earlier iGPUs don't work at all with Houdini, but the ones on Haswell and up (i 4000 series) work well.
Thank you for the reply!

Hey, guys!
My laptop's graphics card recently broke so I am currently only running on the Intel integrated graphics card. Most of the stuff still works.
However, Houdini does not want to open anymore - after the start screen it just freezes. Now, I am no tech expert but I am guessing that Houdini requires the graphic card to launch the interface and since my graphic card is no more, it can not open.
My question is, is there a way to tell Houdini to only use the integrated Intel graphics card? Will it even work using only that one?
I am planning to get a new laptop soon but I would like to wrap some work up before that happens.
Thank you!
