hello all,
im new to houdini, and loving it!
but i want to know how i would achieve something. I want to animate a pin box to some sin waves.
and pin boxes.. i mean those things that you can put your hand under and the pins take the shape of your hand.

now i don't need a step by step i would like to just get a push in the right direction.
any thoughts?

Well, part of me hates to do it, because it's almost like posting a spoiler, but that exact thing was done for XMen by the Core guys, and a version of what they did is posted on the exchange. Look if you dare.

Look for SuperPinTable on that page.

I would start with the full-blown tutorial first: (look for Pinboard in the left sidebar)
