We start digging deeper into Houdini's Kine-FX world by introducing the IK Full Body node. You're going to love this node! It makes character posing so much easier! And if you use the workflow I suggest in the video, you'll find that you don't need any bone remapping at all!

A very super simple introduction for those that have never touched KineFX in Houdini before. This video is meant to be very simple and if you have any experience with KineFX, you should probably skip to the next KineFX Animation Basic Concept #2 IK Controls.

I think it would be nice to release some of the different character rigs that I’ve used and will continue to use for future projects. You can use these rigs to follow along with the tutorial and try out your own experimental Houdini setups!

Houdini’s new Kine FX features makes it SO easy to rig characters, retarget animations, and enhance the animations using procedural noise. This is only the start of all this! Combing character animations with Houdini’s power can only make impossible reality.
