Bgeo


Recommended Posts

bgeo is Houdini's native geometry object format. Houdini's version of OBJ, DXF etc.

right-click on a SOP and select "save geometry" to save a bgeo, then use a file SOP to import it elsewhere.

It's a binary version. :) if you'd like an ASCII version, it's .geo, which from here I think you would be able to hack the format. :rolleyes:

...and don't forget .gzbgeo, the compressed version.

Actually, I thought it was just .gz, no? :D ANd you'd may have to edit the GEOio table to have it support compression of your choice. So, even .rar or any arbitrary compression format is supported. ;) In theory.

.gzbgeo is not a real format. In certain studios (<wink>), they added the .gzbgeo extension to their $HH/GEOio file so that it runs it through gzip for compression.

In Houdini 7.0, the .gz extension was added to the $HH/GEOio for convenience. Thus something like mymodel.bgeo.gz would work by decompressing it via gunzip when reading it.

Part of the reason for using .gzbgeo instead of .bgeo.gz is that the .gzbgeo would should up in the drop-down list in certain dialogs. With just the .gz extension you have to add in the .bgeo yourself.

If you pick .gz in the list it will still save it out as a bgeo that has been gzipped but its helpful to know that the gzipped file is a bgeo.....hence the gzbgeo. :)

But I'm not defending anything. :rolleyes:

But the edward is right..... .gzbgeo is not a real format....the only real format is .bz2bgeo :P
