HI there,

I am now going through all the controls of the Houdini's auto rigged cartoon character. There is a control called COGpivot Translate. But it seems it is not rotating or tweak anything. Does anyone know what the COGpivot Translate (or rotate) is for?

thank you

COG - center of gravity.

It doesn't move any part of the body, the handle is to move itself.

thanks, probbins

but in what situation we need to “move itself” for the centre of the gravity? Do you have any example?

thanks
Bruce

ah, well, it's to allow you to determine the center of gravity of your character. Plus, as you are animating the cog of a character will shift.
