Hi,
rookie question:
Why is it that when I import an Alembic camera from Maya into Houdini, it makes the whole scene insanely large.
The camera moves a massive distance and as such I am forced to create massive grids and simulations with attributes set to numbers in the thousands.
This is really hard to work with and creates clipping problems if you move close to the geometry, which i cant seem to fix even in display options.
I'll attach the scene file and the ABC camera file (not sure how to attach them in the same file). So import the ABC file yourselves Basically the camera is leading a car straight along a road and there is going to be a dust storm in the background and also dust trailing behind the car.
If you convert the tube in the scene to Billowy Smoke, it comes up with a warning saying 'Object level scales detected. A new object has been created to convert to world space'. Which I suppose is a way of saying 'Hey, your scene is super massive and could be fixed somehow'.
I'd like to know if there is some way to import the same camera, but have the scene scaled to a suitable size so i dont have to put huge numbers in while experimenting with smoke, particles etc.
Thanks
