Does anyone know how to use this node? What type of input does it expect?

PCA is a common technique used in data-driven Character Customization Tools etc. Here is a description standard model from the ICT-Lab:

What is a Linear 3D Morphable Face Model?

This node has three modes:

Analysis
- takes in samples of geometry (data) with the same # points but deformed over time or variants of shape
- computes Principal components for the number of components you specify

Project - Projects sample of geometry into the PCA constructed from the Analysis, returning coefficients
Reconstruct - Constructs geometry from coefficients the PCA analysis defined, returning geometry

It is like finding the parameters to slide to change a geometry based on understanding the right parts of the geometry to influence.

It is demoed in the MLDeformer project on the SideFX example project site here:

I was playing with those .hcs files trying to change animation curves editor colours for more looking like in MAYA but man... its such a chaos in nameing convention and everything.

Main problem was that i had to edit color values, save file and then restart Houdini wich was time consuming.

But mayby there is easiest way for updating changed colors on UI immediately?
Using VEX command or perheps Python?

Anyway i wish that there was something like in Zbrush where you can play with every UI paremeter color and set it like you really like. (With realtime feedback on screen)

Just found the fix... In the layers, channel tab, channel range, once set to use full animation range on both layers it worked as expected

Same here.

Is it possible to animate the blending of several animation layers in Houdini ?

I'm trying to figure out how to use animation layers, and it seems it's only possible to disable or enable a layer.

When I animate the layer weight of my second layer nothing happens. I set it to "1" on the first frame, and to "0" on frame 25, but only the value of the first keyframe seems to be accepted.

Is there some secret trickery involved to make this work ? Because when I check the manual this should work.

Thanks.
