Rohan Dalvi – Procedural Biped Generation in Houdini

In this training we will make a fully customizable biped in Houdini with auto bone generation and parenting so you can then easily pose and rig the biped as per your needs. We will also create a couple of robots using the biped system that we have built to demonstrate the flexibility of the system.
