    Well I loved the video and I am all the way to 15 minutes, but I am getting stuck on the VertexAnimationRig python script, I am getting this message:
    No Module named VertexAnimationRig (then in the details): Traceback (most recent call last):
    File "vertexAnimationRig", line 16, in <module>
    ImportError: No module named VertexAnimationRig

    Any help would be great!

    Ok, so I looked around for an answer to no avail. My intuition was that Houdini was not seeing these scripts where the video instructed to put them. I looked through the Houdini folder and saw "python2.7libs" folder and thought I'd give it a try. After placing them and without even restarting Houdini I hit the "Vertex Animation Rig" shelf button and the script ran successfully! Well here's to a lucky guess!
