Hi;

In Motion Builder, there is a menu called Animation Trigger (ATM)
Now in ATM I can assign a keyboard key (keys) to drive the animation with.
In some other words, I can execute an animation clip.

Now in Houdini there should be some ways of doing this, but how???


Thanks in Advance.
Regards.

Sounds like the closest thing you're going to get it is the MouseCHOP, KeyboardCHOP and RecordCHOP functionality where you can set Houdini into a “live” mode and record keystrokes and then use the CopyCHOP to copy clips around onto those pulses.

I believe there are some example files in the documentation for this. I believe there is a scene of a robot guy sitting at a desk waiting on your every command.

It's not a pre-rolled system as it sounds like it is in MotionBuilder, but it's doable quite easily (when you know how)

Happy hunting,
Jason

I can't find the scene you are talking about,
I checked the CHOP example operators :roll: I couldn't find it,
If you have it, would you please upload it for me?
