Hi,
Can't seem to find the new autorig tools in v16. I've gone through the docs and don't see anything like what was shown on the teaser video. I see a legacy autorig shelf but nothing new. Can someone point me in the right direction?
thanks,
Jeff

actually I do see an autorigs shelf, but there is only a toon character on it. Nothing else.

Looks like someone else hit this too. Answer is here.

Hit the plus to create a new Pane Tab Type. You will find Auto Rigs towards the bottom of the list.

that's it. Thanks!

I also got confused on this but eventually found the new panel.

Shouldn't it have a Quadruped preset there as well? the docs puts it as a new feature..

Quadruped support is coming!

Has the quadruped preset not been added yet, I don't see it anywhere? It is documented here https://www.sidefx.com/docs/houdini/shelf/quadrupedautorig#using-quadruped-auto-rig [sidefx.com] but I don't see it when I'm running 16.0.577

that page is for the deprecated old Auto Rig tools
the new tools will have a quadruped preset soon.

thanks

A polite suggestion. This seems to me a very nice example of how a facial autorig system could look like. Lightwave stuff.

thanks, we're always happy to see examples like this.

Just out of curiousity. Could you give us an estimate when the quadruped autorig will be ready? Do you have plans to make retargetting of mocap easier? ( Or did I forgot to read something about that in the manual.) I like the way acs for Modo handles retargetting. A very visual way of mocap retargetting.

I also liked Softimage Motor system for retargetting mocap. Basically a table where you match the bone names of the bvh format with the bone names of your rig. The system also compensates bone length difference. There seems to be something like a standard format for a hierarchy.

I was a fan of Softimage, until -> you know the story.
