Muscles, Tissues & Skin examples houdini 20 April 11, 2024, 6:20 p.m.
Hey Sidefx folks, am in a bit of limbo for current correct methods in using latest muscles, tissues and skin tools in houdini 20. there is very little info out there and so am requested some please!
I found this on the conent library as the latest muscle example setups
but its very much specific for houdini 19.0.568 ... and it seems things have changed considerably in tools, workflow techniques and simulation methods. this is a pretty ugly way to digest the already outdated info on this giant wall of text inside the multiple postit notes! but at least it was the luxury of a working scene wired as intended! which is better than nothing.
tantalisingly this was released a week or so ago
with snippets and further info along how to wire all these up together as a broad outline whole but nothing regarding an actual scene or working example setup with the methods outlined above? I cant seem to find anything except older example setups of muscles ,tissue and skin and as a new learner to the topic am somewhat confused on where best to begin
ideally can we not have this example up to date scene being used in v20 demos? its been out over 5 months already now and nothing new regarding working examples of these all together in one scene or character.
or the very least the capybara test geometry with bones, muscles and skin wired up in the latest methods in houdini 20 already? Im at a loss between where start learning to plug what into where and which way it should be plugged with so many different ways to do it right now!
ideally like this?
