LukeLetellier Posted June 26, 2017 Share Posted June 26, 2017 I feel like I missed a memo - and I can't find the right words for a search to find it in the forums: While in H16, how can I save out points to a cache that can be read by H15.5? I know that bgeo.sc doesn't work, but I thought that .bgeo would, but when I try to open the attached cache in H15.5, the whole program stalls & I have to Cntl+Alt+Delete. I'm doing this because the C4D Houdini Engine hasn't been updated to H16 yet (really Maxon?), and if I want to try to use it, then my source geo files need to be compatible. Thanks, Luke Points_H15.zip Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jkunz07 Posted June 27, 2017 Share Posted June 27, 2017 HOUDINI15_5_GEO_COMPATIBILITY This setting will enable the saving of .geo/.bgeo files compatible with 15.5 versions of Houdini. If this is not set, files with polygons or tetrahedra saved in Houdini 16.0 or later will not be loaded properly in Houdini 15.5 or earlier.

LukeLetellier Posted June 27, 2017 Author Share Posted June 27, 2017 Thanks; I added "HOUDINI15_5_GEO_COMPATIBILITY = 1" to my H16 houdini.env file, but this doesn't seem to have fixed my issue. So it might be something else I'm dealing with. Will talk to SideFx tech support. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LukeLetellier Posted June 27, 2017 Author Share Posted June 27, 2017 Apparently, there's a bug in 15.5.632 that's causing this to hang. The recommended fix is to: 1. Save out the Geometry from H16. 2. Open up the geometry in H15.5.717, and save it out again. 3. Open up the geometry in H15.0.633 / use geo in C4D HDA. :( Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
