Guest xionmark Posted July 7, 2003 Share Posted July 7, 2003 Hello all, Does anyone know if there's a Houdini to Filmbox (and visa versa) convertor available? Anyone working on one? Anyone want/need one? Thanks! --Mark Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
michael Posted July 7, 2003 Share Posted July 7, 2003 I don't know of one.... as for want/need.... I can see some in a pluralist environment wanting an easy(er) way to move assets form one app to another...or just into Motionbuilder (which seems to be coming on strong in the last few months), but in my (limited) experience with porting stuff around I've found that it's often more work than is justified.....geometry is almost always pretty easy, animation can be difficult but there are lots of ways to do it...shaders/materials/textures are always a pain in the ass (max's multi-subobject materials are as nasty as Nelly on Little House on the Prairie). Add to this Houdini's strength in renderman support and I'm not sure there is much need for FBX....but the idea of the format is a good one, what rib could/should have been - a 3D PostScript etc...
