Dear god you are a live saver. I have been looking for a way to parent objects to hands, heads, feet in sops and I thought it was impossible without doing the long winded process with Kinefx. This is an operation that should be a simple click of a button or drag and drop. This is the curse of Houdini some of the hardest tasks to achieve are made simple and then some of the simplest tasks are super complex, and then there is you, the digital Moses here to part the red sea lead us out of darkness and into the promise land🙂

[@Pixelfondue]

lol... you get the Post of the Month!". Made my day!

[@thehandleiwantedwasntavailable]

Well, it is a click of a button, which is why it's on the shelf...

Thanks for your tutorial! I tried this on an alembic file - attaching a sphere (planning to use the sphere as a source object for popnet) However during playback the sphere wasn't fixed properly to those points, jittering around the constraint area. Any idea what's going on?

[@SATISFISE]

Was having the same issue with the point constraint but if you use the surface constraint it seems to fix this

[@papaamiin9658]
