Apex Autorig Builder main axis issue 2025年9月17日10:39

Hi, We are missing the pin offset position on the limb Autorig Builder component. It is by default set to (0.0, 0.0, 0.1) like you have said. We should have a fix for that soon.

Thanks for the feedback.

I just opened this in Houdini 20.5 and Wow this is so cool. Awesome for wormy-like deformation. However it doesn't work in 21 for some reason the mesh and joints look broken in 21. I have several questions about spline in general too, the elephant apex rig in content library demonstrates apex script that generates a abst-control for driving a sinewave through the tagged(feather_) FK joints.
I have fixed it now using apex script to sort the skeleton, it should work in 21 now

I was wondering if its possible to get that same type of function but with spline, like a abst-control that drives a sine wave through a set of spline. I would love that for one of my characters which is a worm. Just curious about different types of spline in general. The tentacle rig demonstrated in the houdini 21 keynote event looked so cool but we still haven't gotten a demo file of it yet. Would be so awesome to have that combined with the sinewave abst-control as a component preset.
you can use a sine function in the graph to drive the controls.

Hi, there.
Yes currently that is a limitation with the autorig components.
I have set up a simple component that will hopefully get you up and running
