I've got my #KineFX workflows figured out at this point. The outstanding question is whether I want to leave them as "templates" or make an HDA out of them. Since it's going to be a fully automated system it's probably a non-issue.

One thing I haven't wrapped my head around with retargeting motion capture with #Houdini #KineFX is how to handle scale differences between the source and target. The Rig Match Pose SOP scales the source and/or target skeleton. My method of removing that scale after the Full Body IK SOP is causing foot sliding...

In between the high level, core architecture refactor and the low level, get-shit-done support I have in store for this year, I want to transition our #mocap pipeline over to #Houdini #KineFX for a couple of reasons. /1
