I love how Houdini evolwes into animation and rigging! Its good direction and it motivates me for learning the best tool out there!

ok, I started with learning ApexScript. I think I'm getting into it! the documentation is really clear. and the examples Esther provided are very detailed. I think it's one of the most detailed documentations we've got so far at launch! APEX component scripts feel very daunting at first. but you will repeat many of the same functions. Inserting new functionality in exsisting rigs has never been easier. I was able to implement some custom functionality into Electra(aka an exsisting rig) without having to dive too deeply into the nodes that were placed beforehand. But you have to take a few days to really take the examples apart in order to understand it.

Absolutely fantastic talk, thank you! In fear of rigging im KineFX, but this makes me really want to dive in and learn rigging in APEX. Exciting.

Rigging became so convoluted... Wow is like a whole new world

I would disagree with it being convoluted. Rigging *was* convoluted in other apps where sometimes one small mistake means starting over, or random bugs that break project, and anything complex required you to fully delve into complex coding with wierd and slow APIs because so much stuff was hidden into binaries. Sometimes the files get so giant even opening them takes seconds, and the node graph is barely understandable. But with Apex you have none of those problems, literally none. With this you are rather creating a "recipie" for a rig, which you can easily reuse and add functionality to if necessary. With the additions of the inbuild autorig scripts, for half of the simple characters you won't even need to do any added functionality, most of the basic stuff like fk, ik, lookat, spice etc is already there and all you need to do is just prepare the skeleton well and give the correct tags. I have used Apex from the day it was released and it was definitely a better experience. For once I had full control over the rig and it was amazing, even with all it's bugs at that time it was fun to use

I'm having a tough time understanding how simple APEX is?? I'm rewatching this for sure.

I think it's simple as long as you rely on the prebuild functions. then it's extremely simple. it gets much harder than anything you've done before when you build custom stuff. But, as 99% of the characters pretty much use the same rig. you have a humanoid auto-rig to your disposal without any effort. And now it might be much more difficult if you want to build custom stuff. Once you've build it. it's very scalable and the performance is great. So it's possible riggers in future projects will have a very short development cycle, even on projects with many many characters. People not specialized with the tech-part would be able to setup complicated rigs in no-time. And if people on the internet will share their creations. it's possible that rigging can feel like lego.

I wish Epic had opted for a syntax like APEX script for Verse code. Once GPT5 or Claude OPUS get trained in that language it ll become the best rigger.

Esther was filling in the code in APEX Script so quickly that I didn't see what, if any, autocompletion was working. Will I have to learn the function names by heart? Since function names are not highlighted here. Now I wonder what's going on with the debugging of the script.

Autocomplete is included in apexscript with a full description of the arguments and their types plus function descriptions.

I'm curious can we use APEX autorig and export it as .FBX to the game engine? or it needs to be animated inside houdini only

you can animate in houdini with apex and then export your character + skel anim to an fbx

what about limits on rotations. especially limits on rotations that the ik takes into acount. OK i gues the python fixes that. function whould be nice though.

@EstherTrilsch Ай бұрын
transform limits can be defined with the configure controls node for all controls. The handle and the controls take the limits on interactions into account
