Getting some interesting results with #CHOPs for #camerashake. The main idea here is to re-use the positional noise for rotation to simulate the camera's inertia. #Houdini #animation

My #DAZ to #APEX tools for #Houdini 20.5 got quite a few updates meanwhile. Now it includes auto agent setup, a useful #Kinefx retargeting helper, and more QoL and procedural updates.

Updated my #DAZ to #APEX #Houdini setup with a lot a small fixes and QoLs
github.com/keerah/Houdi...
Neck joint added
Fixes to thumb and eyelids orientations
More comments
See the readme for the full list
Also tested it on a G8 character, will update it with the G8 version soon.

Diving deeper into the #kinefx constraints
Loving how this lives already
Even though I am a bit puzzled how I managed to make it work with all these dependencies 😂

A little overview of using #transform attribute to precisely control #sweep in #houdini.
Just used sweep to model some organic stuff and dove a bit into the mechanics of it. Sweep is actually aware of many attributes, like trans, rot, orient, etc. So you have plenty of options, just read the docs :)

Working on this nice little thing for my local #Obsidian based #projectmanagement. Still #wip but I love it already.
This is an interactive chart in Obsidian based on the time-tracking data pulled from #ActivityWatch. Data filtered by timespan and keywords, granular enough to isolate any job track.

Done quite a while ago in #C4D, ready to do even more fun in #Houdini now.
Love mechanics! In character rigs things are very typical, and the most of its life comes from the animation, but in mechanics it's all embedded in the architecture itself

Testing a fresh #APEX rig. Now fluffy and #quadrupedal.
Not perfect but already usable. I am gradually getting a grasp of all APEX components.
For experiment I used splines for the spine, tail and tongue.

How to seriously geek with #Obsidian 🤭
It changed the way I work and learn. I am a huge personal knowledge management #PKM enthusiast. Started using Obsidian.md a few years back and since then my usage of Obsidian has been extending progressively. garden.keerah.com (a wormhole to my vault)

I still prefer to build all the main stuff in SOPs and then shape it however I want in #Houdini #Solaris. Here's my recent snippet to quickly move materials from SOPs to #LOPs. To make it work copy over the materials into a Mat library and set the shop_materialpath as Partition attribute. (alt txt)
![string separator = chs("separator"); // the name of material network in SOPs
string submat = chs("submat"); // the name of LOPs material subprimitive
string mat = split(@primpath, '/')[-1]; // extract the subset name from the full primitive path
mat = re_replace(".*"+separator+"_", submat, mat); // replace the path with the LOPs material path
return mat;
string submat = chs("submat");
string mat = split(@primpath, '/')[-1];
mat = submat+mat;
return mat;](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:o7spia5au6a54qk246b2unxs/bafkreiendvxtcslvl3g7euuche4wgdie3gelw6gk2awa3px5rxha4uoiim@jpeg)

Ha! Haven't tried it yet, but next time I need a #gif definitely will.

Bet you never used #Houdini FFT node. This setup was originally intended to be used for geo data filtering but also fun to play around as a generator.
