Packed Primitives to Maya - Best Practices
ParticleSkull posted a topic in General Houdini Questions
Hey guys, I have a scene with one object copied into thousands of points (particles). Since I'm using packed primitives, the scene gets super fast on Houdini but it's impossible to export it out. Does anyone knows what would be the best way to send it to Maya? Is there a way to, maybe, expo... -
Hello guys, First I imported an object from 3dsmax into Houdini and after fracturing and simulating, now I would like to import the result (sequence of animated geometries) back again into 3dsmax. I tried to use Alembic and FBX, but the result is not satisfying, because it destroys the material... -
I made a Portal Effect in Houdini using pop network and connected the particles to line segments ,I made the Alembic file of the same to import it to unreal but I'm unable to import it in unreal it keeps showing this error in the image attached. the Alembic file is working fine in houdini though.

Hi there, I have a camera from the alembic scene and I will transfer the same properties on the camera of Houdini, but locked in specific frames. That operation should be done for more cameras and I try to do it automatically without "copy/paste" a channel and then deleted every time, I tr...

Is there a way to reduce the filesize of this animation considering i am only transforming geo not deforming. Ideally the rop file would just save the geo just one time and then only changes in the transforms. Also can i do this with an FBX alembic.rar

So I have an odd problem I haven't been able to figure out yet. I have a Synology DS716+II NAS raid and using it as a shared drive so I can use HQueue to render jobs on other machines. That all works fine to render on the farm, however when I write alembic data to the NAS, I get an error everytime I...

Hey all, I have some geo based lava where im throwing the @uv through a solver offsetting the v value so it appears to flow. I'm trying to bring this into cinema, but the uv's seem to be static. When I re import the alembic into houdini, everything is animated and working. Anyone ever ru...

Found an annoying problem recently in regards to rendering .ass files with instanced packed alembics. So the basic set up is packed alembic geometries being sent through a "Copy to Points" sop and are packed and instanced. These are then being manipulated a bit, and then being sent through... -
Hi everyone! I am doing a fluid simulation in houdini that I then want to export in blender. I already achieved something, but I think I am in need of a couple of advices and I hope someone can help me here. This is the result so far after I exported all the elements in blender: VA_WaveTe...

Hey All, I have a stadium which ive generated in houdini and want to bring over to c4d for render. I have a copy to points setup with pack and instance checkbox ticked, which gives me around 15000 packed geos. Upon bringing into c4d, it seems sluggish and slow and was wondering if there i...

Hi all, so I am kind of new to rendering with karma and have come across an issue where the light interaction with the geo is looking weird. Have tried retopo of the geo which hasn't worked. Any help would be amazing

Hi folks, I'm having a bit of trouble with exporting an array of integers to alembic. When i create an array on the geometry and export it to alembic and import it back into Houdini again, the array is changed to an integer with the value of 0. Even if I fill in the attribute name in the ropAl...

Hey All! Currently I'm almost a month in now, trying to accomplish something inside houdini as a complete newbie. I was hoping there would be someone out here that has the knowledge to help me out a bit. Every tip is a helpful one for me at this stage entering the amazing world of houdini!...

Hi everyone. I'm struggling to understand constraint networks. Trying to glue constrain some RBDs to an animated mesh imported from Maya (via alembic). I made a test file, and seem to have kinda, almost managed to set it up - but not quite. The constraints are there, they show up in red, but ha...

Hi, Long time lurker, first time posting. I'm working on something I can't solve without some help. It's an animated piece of vellum cloth (fairly dense) exported as an alembic and I now want to add dynamic sequins (attached with thread/wires) to it. I've tried with wires, copy to points,...

Successfully exporting a small crowd using the stadium shelf tool into Unreal. The problem is I only get a single character material or texture atlas applied to ALL 50 crowd agents in the alembic. In Houdini there are 9 different texture atlases randomly applied. Since inside Unreal you los...

Hi folks, I have searched around, but similar questions are either unresolved or unanswered. Hopefully now in 2019 we have a simple solution to this simple issue. I have used the Extract Transform node in Houdini, which gave me the position and rotation of my object. Prior to that, I have... -
Hi. I have a alembic simulation from Houdini with 1000 objects. 1- 110 frames alembic files was 55gb its OK? 2- C4d is having a hard time reproducing it. Is there a way to bake the simulation or create some kind of proxy on C4D? Maybe the problem...

Is there a way to retime alembic instances? i would like to have an attribute on my points (before the copy to points sop) that sets the speed of the alembic animation and the frame it starts. is possible to use an agent setup? that has this functionality built in as far as i have seen..although...

Hi everyone, Can you please share your most efficient way of loading an alembic camera? I'm working with 2 alembic files (animated object and camera) and I'm trying to Object merge them in a new Geometry node so I can use the Timeshift node to offset their animations. I can see that it's w...
