That, and the perception that Houdini is incomprehensible to the layman. Select specific joints to assign weights to on the Joints tab of the Weight Manager (you can keep both tabs open by click-dragging across them or shift-clicking them).I was a daily C4D user for over 10 years, and I think a general feeling in the C4D community is that the only main difference between Houdini and C4D is (was?) a node-based interface.

Switch to points mode and adjust your paint settings in the Weight manager on the Commands Tab. To Paint weights, switch to the Paint Tool: Tools menu > Paint Tool Paint weights or use the Auto Weight feature. Open the weight manager: Character menu > Manager > Weight Manager Now you can unlock the Attributes manager. Now that the Weight tag is added to the mesh, lock the attributes manager, middle-mouse-click the root of the joints hierarchy (which will select all children as well) OR select the root and from the objects manager menu bar goto: Edit > Select Children.ĭrag that selection into the joints list of the Weight tag (that was locked in view in the Attributes manager) Now select the jacket mesh object and in the tags menu find the “Weight” tag (under rigging in r21 and I think Character under r20-). Select the “Include” tab of the Skin deformer, change the mode to “Include” and drag the jacket mesh object into the list. In the Character menu, select the “Skin” deformer and make that a child of the jacket mesh object.

It can be anywhere in the scene hierarchy outside the joints hierarchy. First, the jacket doesn’t need to be a part of the same hierarchy as the joints.
