You then turn this subnet into a digital asset, and load it into Maya. In the example, I have placed a ground plane at the origin.

Essentially you need to create a subnet inside of a Geometry object, and set up your DOP network.

#Houdini engine as rigged asset how to

Hi there, I have attached an HDA that will show you how to set up the simulation part of this. I'm still pretty new to houdini, so any pointers would be most helpful… If this is even possible to begin with. I'm hoping it is possible just do the animation via engine. I'm using an rbd bullet solver node to make it) Most things I can find on my own would have me export the mesh from maya into houdini do the whole sim and fracture process there and used rdb to fbx back into maya to have an output as I want it to be. (which would be my old method voronoi output) Now I'm unsure how to get the animation to potentially be baked onto each piece (each mesh is rigid they don't change shape in the animation comming out of houdini. I've made it to a point where my fractured object at least outputs as a seperate mesh per fracture piece once I bake the asset. (Game Engine or Others I'm working with) I'm currently aiming to use the houdini engine plugin to try and replace the preparation half of the process. Then I'd do some further post processing depending on where the output needs to go. I've been buiding a destruction asset in Houdini in an attempt to save some time in my usual process in maya.
