Alembic Maya Visibility Import

14 May 2013 - 11:52 AM

We have maya animations with visibility animated trying to figure out how to import that info from the maya abc export with the write visibility option on.

got this look up from the camera imports, not sure what to mod in order to get visibility out of a geo cache.
pwd().alembicGetCameraDict(ch("fileName"), "/renderCam/renderCamShape", ch("frame")/ch("fps")).get("focus")

Not familiar with the abc formatt that much.

Thanks

I let google auto complete the search to the forum and it took me to the browser page, and I got this image.

I find it funny that eetu quote is the first thing I see... eetu: A shitty theory is better than no theory at all, and edwards: don't Panic!
I think we should use these as theme for Houdini in general, google likes them after all

Procedural Eye Shader

29 August 2012 - 12:44 PM

Hello,

I'm having a brain fart and can't remember how to do a procedural eye shader. More importantly the iris of it. I used to do it in maya a bunch, but now I'm drawing a blank. I'm using a nurb sphere with polar textures so the UVs wraps around smoothly. I can use a ramp vop to create the circle, but I can't remember how to noise it up.
Any help or directions to a simple tutorial would be great.

Thanks
-Ben
