Houdini: Circle Creature

A hip file of this circle creature. Theres tons of code comments and sticky notes, so its like an in-hip tutorial.

What happens in the file:

• A set of legs is rigged and animated in KineFX going around a path. This includes setup of the IK legs and the reverse foot setup.
• Geometry for thoose legs is generated.
• The legs are skinned and deformed with KineFX
• Then duplicates are made by Timeshifting, and finally the creature is joined up together.
• Then we render the creature in Solaris, where all the Lights, Cameras & Textures are included
