- Explore the power of Houdini in this compact video tutorial designed for Maya users familiar with Ziva Dynamics. Discover how to leverage Houdini's robust toolset to create dynamic muscle simulations and lifelike character effects (CFX).
In this tutorial, Carlos we'll guide you through the process of setting up muscle simulations in Houdini, utilizing Ziva's techniques and principles you're already familiar with in Maya.
Learn how to create muscles, define tissue properties, and achieve realistic deformations for your characters.
Carlos will also demonstrate how to simulate secondary motion, skin sliding, Facia Layer, and cloth dynamics using Houdini's vellum solver Explore techniques for integrating fat, skin, and cloth dynamics seamlessly into your character rigs.
With clear, concise instructions and practical examples, you'll gain the skills and confidence to tackle character muscle simulations in Houdini with ease. Whether you're a seasoned Maya user looking to expand your toolkit or new to Houdini, this tutorial provides valuable insights and techniques that will enhance your character animation workflow.

Wonderful video! Glad that CFX and muscle work specifically is getting some more information out there 👏
This is GOLD. I'm learning so much from this video! Big thanks Rabelway!
You are very welcome!
Thanks guys
Thanks so much for this.With the ML deformers in Unreal and houdini,this will come in handy
Rebelway is just the best.
could we see also some blender-houdini tutorials pls?
you guys are the best! thank you
Rebelway in streak❤
Thank you!
Wow, what an exceptional approach to professional teaching! Truly admire the dedication and passion you bring to your teaching practice!
You're very welcome!
Marvellous. Much need introduction. There is one and two lectures on free content regarding muscle system. This free lesson teaches me more than paid one of others.
Glad you liked it! Enjoy
Thank you VERY much!
even thru I am not a character FX guy. but Wow, thanks for the tutorial!
Thats a solid $1000 course
Would be great a lesson with Unreal Engine (ML deformer) to see how exporting muscle simulation and apply into a Game Engine, metahuman for example
wow, A dream come true, Thanks RW!
You are very welcome!
Always working towards the best. Amazing 💯
Thank you!
So, what is the purpose of the muscle and tissue nodes if u don't need to use them?
GOLD!
awesome tutorial, Carlos did a great job :) , is there a link to the assets used?
ooo what is this magic? Nice one!!
Glad you liked it!
Amazing tutorial! One question though, at 2:01:53 in MUSCLE SETUP when creating the attribute paint node and add it tge attribute name "attach" I get an error saying "AttributeError: 'module' object has no attribute 'updateattribute'". The paint brush doesn't even appear when pressing Enter on the viewport so I'm stuck.
Any suggestions? Thank you!
You guys are on fire
❤🔥
Same video Carlos Puigdollers already posted to his channel 1 month previous as a playlist.
Thanks for the tutorials, may I ask if you can share Mr ink just for following this tutorial, I can’t find a download link from ziva community
Is there any purpose of learning ziva as it an inhouse software now at dneg ?
is there anything like anatomy transfer in houdini?
Is ziva currently available?
No DNEG bought exclusive license rights from Unity. But people or studios who havealready obtained a license can still use it for I think 5 years without updates.
C'est trop ginial
