    Oh my goodness!!! I must be dreaming? I have waited for a thousand years and searched across all galaxies for this exact type of tutorial of character rigging from START all the way to finish including blendshapes. Thank you so so sooo very much, Mr KRISTOFFERSEN for this outstanding game-changing tutorial series

    I have watched your talks so many times on YouTube trying to apply the techniques of character creation in Houdini. I am so happy there is a tutorial walking through it now. Thank you!!!

    This is all incredible. I've been watching your talks on Houdinis youtube so many times, and have integrated Houdini in my character work as a result. These videos are both educational and inspirational, and I'm learning so much by looking into the HIP files. Tusen hjertelig takk!! Do you use any of these workflows for the feature film work over at Qvisten? Newest Flåklypa was great.

      Thank you so much!
      It’s really great to hear that you enjoy my talks! I truly appreciate it!

      These workflows (and more) are actually being implemented into our animation pipeline as we speak. We’re steadily moving toward using Houdini across all sorts of departments, modeling, rigging, and animation at Qvisten in the future.
      Houdini is already a vital part of our pipeline with CFX, FX, Solaris, USD and Karma at the heart of it.

      Houdini is freakin awesome! And such great tool for all things character related, and im superexcited about it!

      Thank you so much! That means a lot!
      Hopefully that will send you further down the path of making Houdini into the Character pipeline king that it is. :)

    For years I have been looking for a comprehensive course that would take us from character modeling and rigging in Houdini to the final integration in a game engine. You, sir, has delivered it in such a fantastic way! The control rig using APEX is also a huge hit for me, since I've been diving into it lately. Thank you very much, Mr. Kristoffersen!

    • Roy_Kristoffersen 1 day, 14 hours ago  | 

      Wow! Thank you very much! You made my day! Hopefully there is a lot to dive into. Have a great journey into the land of characters in Houdini! It’s superpowerful!!! 🤩🔥🤩
