You can download the project files here: They do not include anything extra, but it will help supporting future work. In this tutorial I go over the process of creating a simple skeletal mesh in Houdini and how to export it for Unreal Engine 5. We will use KineFX to create a simple procedural skeleton.

If you are interested of what possibilities this technique can offer you can check out this breakdown about a procedural organ system that i did, which uses this technique in great extent: Songs used from sessions vi: weird inside - Chapters: 00:00 Intro 00:20 Creating the mesh 05:53 Creating the skeleton 09:21 Rigging the mesh 12:30 Exporting for UE5 15:10 Importi
