In this Houdini tutorial, we take a deep dive into creating KineFX rigs from shortest path geometry—a powerful and flexible approach for procedural rigging and animation.
🔍 What you'll learn:
How to build shortest path geometry setups
Creating smooth point attribute transitions with VEX
Converting shortest path geo into a fully functional KineFX rig
Animating the rig with custom VEX logic
Whether you're new to KineFX or looking to push your procedural rigging skills further, this tutorial breaks down every step so you can follow along and integrate these concepts into your own projects.
