LESSON AND SUPPORT FILES: www.sidefx.com/tutorials/how-...
This lesson is for animators who want to learn how to pose and keyframe the Electra test geometry using the new APEX Animate state in Houdini 20. This node takes the rig that is embedded in the geometry and makes it available for animators to work with this character. Next learn how to add a second character so they can be animated together. Along the way learn about Selection Sets and animation controls that you can use within the APEX Animate tool. This lesson is for animators who want to learn how to pose and keyframe using the new APEX Animate state.

straightforward and covers all the important areas. anyone who wants to get started with animation in the animation/APEX context should watch this video first before the other detailed technical videos. ❤

The animation environment feels so good. It's so lighting fast and fun to work with. Well done, side fx 👍

Will there be a APEX biped auto rigger and skinner ?

Can you use futura to animate the hand of electra lifting so they sync perfectly in case we needed it?

You can set up constraints - look for Warren L's HIVE talk for more details on this

I’m having Electra separate into two when I try to pose. Any suggestions on how to fix that? Thanks!

It's likely a viewport bug, used to happen to me when entering the `Animate` viewport state. At the top menu of Houdini, go to `Labs` -> `Reset Viewport` and it should get rid of the "duplicate" geometry when entering the animation state. This issue may have been solved in the recent Houdini builds.

Mr. Magee, really appreciate your educational content. One gripe I have with your tutorials is that your voice can go from very quiet at the end of sentences to a sudden raise in the following with lots of "uhms" in between. You sound tired and lethargic. Better quality microphone/recording settings may help as well. My complaints may seem shallow but it's definitely not a personal attack. Hopefully you're getting paid enough to warrant well-planned and well-executed tutorials as the main voice of SideFX learning materials. Cheers.

Is this a tutorial or a show off? If you are not gonna do a detailed and educational guides on how your technical artist created this rig, this is just another fancy rig toon, which other software has millions of.

@SamWelker 8 ай бұрын

This is how to pose and animate as the title suggests. The software came out today with this early access tool so as they normally do I assume they will release plenty of content in the next weeks and months helping clarify how to best use this.

In H20 the animators experience was a key focus and this lesson is about that workflow Go here to learn about the rigging - www.sidefx.com/contentlibrary/electra-rig/ And check out the HIVE presentation on H20 Rigging - around noon today - www.sidefx.com/houdini-hive/h20-hive-youtube-live/

why would a video titled "how to pose and animate electra" be about rigging?
