HOUDINI : comparison between default motion path and HG_motionPath
Hi everyonem this is a quick comparison between the regular houdini motion path and HG_motionPath Imade.
On the left the default motionpath (blue green) on the right my custom HG_motionPath(red green).
As it s possible to see the regular motion path uses a regular fixed up vector to orient the object that leads to unsepected flippings , this can be avoided of course by animating the up vector parameter but often for a not technical person like an animator might be a bit hard to understand what an up vector is , and of course animating it might get tedious if the courve is chainging or moving , instead the HG_motionPath uses a dynamic upvector using the parallel frame transportation (again? yeah pretty usefull isnt it?)
The otl is still in version one i s till need to add some parameter to change the direction of the tangent and so on.
PS sorry for low quality is an old demo
