Hm… There don't seem to be any existing tutorials on this, so I'll have to create a dedicated thread to discuss this issue in detail. Don't want to derail this one.

“…all this can be done procedurally through python ”

Bjørn's Cat rigging series is not the one that I'm doing right now.

Also would love to see some in animation, and more specific ways to automate movement like for example, using procedural simulation on the rig to form natural movements like in the example below

very happy to hear this! Although that series is a very good introduction to new and old rigging ways I am thrilled to see what sesi staff can pull out!
Thanks for the hard work arctor!

I'm basically doing this tutorial (that was recommended to us) but in Houdini :

Yep, I am looking forward to see that one! Do you have a rough idea when it will be nice and ready?
arctor
you should start seeing them before Christmas.

I'm doing (almost) nothing else
It's about 2/3 done and the first parts will need a little editing cleanup so you should start seeing them before Christmas.

The only things I missing is Greace Pencil like Blender and motion trail like Maya(a curve for see animation control path and edit it) and a little help on ghost in Houdini we need some features to make it more useble.

My apologies I finally found “Maya motion trail” in Houdini is the new “MOTION PATH” when I read the help I saw it and tried…wonderful
Let's go ahead….
