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!

FEM Driven by Kine FX Animations! This FEM scene turned out very nice and I really enjoyed preparing the Plant Eater bite effect. Kine FX rigging and keyframing the mouth opening and close movements was super easy using Rig Pose nodes.
