Hey ShkYo30,

I would go with kinefx. It is way more in line with the Houdini mindset. Granted some things might be a bit harder to understand but they will be improved further on. So you invest in the future. The traditional bones on the other hand are legacy and won't get any updates.

Cheers

Thanks for your feedback about this domain ! I begin to think the same thing because KineFX is better at every update and it seems to be the future for complex rigging...

Hi everybody!

I'm mainly using Houdini to create some explosions, smoke, fire, particles and so on, effects.

But I want to create some mechanical animations like these:
Industrial robot arm [www.youtube.com]
Industrial piston [www.youtube.com]
or
Industrial mechanisms [www.youtube.com]

What's the better way to do that with Houdini, working with all the KineFX system, or "simply" use the movements constraints system??

Thanks in advance for your answers!

I found the answer on the Houdini group of Reddit, it's so easy...

You just need to change the "Screen Window Y" parameter (in the tab "view" of the camera) and after that, when you move the camera, the perspective distorsion change, cool !!

Hi everybody ! I need to use a lens shift on my camera (like that look the 3 images at the bottom : [docs.redshift3d.com]).

How can I do that ? Because for now, I don't find any "shift" parameter with the Houdini camera...

Thanks in advance !

Houdini Indie and Apprentice » Beginner question : How can I change color after a DOPimport

Finally, I found a way, it's not perfect but into the “dopimport” node, if I change the “import style” from “fetch geometry from dop network” to “transform input geometry”, it seems it's okay!

Unfortunately, some parts of the simulation seems moving a little into space, but I think I could fix that…

I hope that tip could help somebody!

I've a rigid body simulation stored on my hdd, and now I want to make the textures, but the DOPimport node keep the colors that were used during object creation!! You can watch the screenshot in attachment.

Please, how can I change the color after the DOPimport node, or maybe how to keep the color of the Assemble node? (I work for a render with Mantra)
Many thanks in advance for your tips/answers!
