Whenever I launch houdini, the "Houdini Console" window pops up over the main window, with "Always on top" checked. Every time I launch it I have to uncheck it. Is there a way to make it unchecked by default? I heard there's an environment variable but I can't find any reference to it in the docs.

Check out the help - if you've downloaded the CMU mocap library then you should have a big directory structure with a bunch of numbered directories. Each dir should contains a number of amc (animation) files and a single asf (skeleton) file. Once you paste the path to an asf file in the Mocap Acclaim node, it will read all of the amc files in the dir - the mocap clip parameter will allow you to select which amc file you want to use. You should see an animated skeleton in your scene.

I'm still trying to figure out how to apply that mocap data to a rigging skeleton…
