Octopus Character Rig Posing Exercise
The Octopus character is a 3D model that I created in Houdini and textured with Substance Painter and is available for download for Perk Members. The download link is at the top of this page.
This is perfect for practice posing character using Houdini’s Kine-FX system because of the many tentacles the Octopus has. You’ll find using the Houdini’s Full Body IK node makes it incredibly simple and easy to setup the IK’s. Literally it’s a dropping down 2-3 nodes and changing 1 parameter to setup the entire character IK skeleton. Using the workflow I demonstrate in the Basic Concept videos for this mini-series on Kine-FX Animation, no bone remapping needed!
