I export it out from Messiah in mdd format and then import it in Houdini using mdd.<br /><br />Messiah can export FBX but that doesn't seem to work for my rig (I presume because it's too complex and has too many effects on it).Jim Craftonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06342609230425703376noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2959920798236020367.post-86793246492482329732011-08-18T07:28:51.998-07:002011-08-18T07:28:51.998-07:00I use the Autorig tool in Houdin a while back and ...I use the Autorig tool in Houdin a while back and animated it. I found it *extremely* frustrating to work with. I found both the Autorig asset itself hard to use, but more importantly I also found the actually animation GUI difficult to use as well. The graph editor was really quirky, for me at least, depending on what "dekstop" setup you were using. Maybe I was doing something wrong, I don't know, but it was not much fun. <br />In general, despite all of it's other quirks, I've found Messiah ridiculously easy to rig in and it's much easier to animate in as well, so that's the reason why.Jim Craftonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06342609230425703376noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2959920798236020367.post-81766904446655675932011-08-13T23:10:50.929-07:002011-08-13T23:10:50.929-07:00i love checking out the progress. i am curious why...i love checking out the progress. i am curious why you would use messiah to rig and pose and then export your character back into houdini. why not just rig in houdini?<br /><br />does your character stay rigged in houdini once imported?<br /><br />great work!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
