render out bgeo???

You can right click a SOP and save out a bgeo, what do you mean by rendering out bgeo

thats what I meant to say

thanks, that works.

But, I could of thought that in earlier versions

I was able to do this thru outputs.

thanks,

yea, there is a geometry renderer in your outputs.. whether or not you can do it in apprentice or not, im not sure.. check to see if 'geometry' is an op along with mantra, mental ray, and renderman.. i don't know all the formats that can be rendered out, but I have done both obj and bgeo through this method.

The extra plus of doing this through the geo renderer is you can do frame ranges. so it saves out an obj/bgeo for every frame. then you can import that series back in to a file and your animation is right there in front of you. its a good way to instance an animated model to a partical system.

hey dave,

I thought i remembered renderinga frame range of geometry files.

apprentice does not have it. arrrg. I need animation to attach to particles.

thanks,
