it looks like they are being rotated around as you animate
if I turn off all the controls except for the left foot IK control
and then step through the animation from frame 140-160 I can see that the control is rotating but the foot/leg isn't - so they get a different orientation.
I think I can change the controls in a future update so that you'll see this happening.
for now open this file and go into the geo node
copy the SOPs that are there and then paste them into your L_Foot_footroot etc controls

yes, this is correct…
whenever you make a change above the Stash SOP you must click ‘Stash Input’ to update it.
after that you should have you capture

it's telling you that it can't find any capture regions - so that node in the Extra Regions parameter doesn't contain a capture region.
click the Operator Choose on the Extra Regions parameter and then select only the Bone objects that you want to use to capture your geometry.

since this is a sim it looks like the get_metaball merge is only bringing in any geometry from frame 3 on…
I just cleared out the 1 from the base group and turned OFF Enable
and it seems to work just fine,

strange - I can't reproduce this
but when I load your hip file I'm seeing some strange things with the dashed line indicators
are you seeing this?
also I've noticed an issue with the Tongue.
I'll keep looking into this
thanks for the files - they really help

Now what if I had 100 different Megascan primitves in one file? That would take forever to blast out.
I'd separate these and manage them as individual assets - easier to deal with/update etc

are you able to send me an example file that I can test?

not knowing your exact setup…
if you have an Object node that contains the SOP network where you are creating these groups you can set this node to be Editable

Would you advise against learning it the let's say .. high school way? First the list with these OPS, this does this, this does that, etc, then the following list with these OPS, etc?
lots of Operators are used in all kinds of areas - some, like the Heightfield SOP are used mostly for Terrains, but the, lets say ‘top 30 nodes’ are used for everything…
learning the nodes on their own can be useful - most/all have example files linked in their doc page - but without some context it will be pretty boring.
First, go through all the Introduction/Basics tutorials to get familiar with Houdini's UI and workflow then find a SMALL project that you'd like to do and give it a try. Pop back here if you get stuck or have a question.

there really isn't anything that will allow the importing of a rig from one app to another - the best you can do is use a format like FBX and re-rig.

you'd be better off taking something that you like - an example image from your list - and try to reproduce it in Houdini
you'll learn how to break down an image/effect into it's smaller parts
and by trying to re-create these things you'll start learning how to use Houdini and the operators that are most applicable to that task.

hurrrmmmm….
I think you'll have to translate that data into something useful yourself…
I'm sure there are apps/scripts out there to do this - since NASA etc do use commercial software (Houdini, Maya etc) when they do visualisations…
then you could make a Houdini Digital Asset (HDA) that could read in that data and create an orbit.
