DyingAge

Hey ^^

I havent been able to post anything because I was in the hospital for a few days...but here's my work up to that day ^^ (legs dont have the final texture yet).

I know this will sound like newbie question but its never too late or early to learn so I wanted to ask, to pass the model to mixamo and then to houdini should I put on mixamo with the clothes or add them after in houdini (animating just the body in mixamo)?

Thanks in advance

You would rig and animate your character without the clothing in Mixamo and then do your cloth setup in Houdini. If you are going to edit your animation, you would also do that before doing your cloth sim.

Good luck!

As Chewy said: it's always more efficient to upload your character without clothes/tails/wings/hair if you'd like to Auto-Rig it. Makes for better results. Cheers.

DyingAge

Thanks guys, I really appreciate the help! On my way to learn Houdini now so I can put some materials and the 'ex-particle' hair back on my model before doing the first cloth tests =P

DyingAge

Im having a little problem sending from mixamo to houdini my animated file and was hoping I could get some help if possible. Although in mixamo everything was looking good, once I import the fbx file to houdini however I get this...

Can someone help me please? =s

Dryulya

Just turn off the visibility of the bones.

DyingAge

Wow I feel silly now xD
Thank you for the help, its solved!

DyingAge

I was unable to finish unfortunately, I was having a few problems and difficulties making pieces of the outfit (armor and such) following the right path of the animation and I got too delayed to be able to catch up, this only proves I still have got too much to learn before I can participate in such events.

However I do not regret it as I have learned a lot from it and thanks to everyone who has helped me! Thank you so much for the opportunity to participate, I had a great time!

Congratulations to everyone that has finished and good luck to all that are under judging now !!
