mrcain Posted November 16, 2012 Share Posted November 16, 2012 Possibly a simple one here, but I can't scatter/source from an alembic file ? Just gives me a bounding box. Same file imported as obj works fine, but obviously doesn't carry all the animation. Anyone had issues with this ? Work arounds ? I've written the geo out as bgeo and imported back in but still no dice. Cheers Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mrcain Posted November 20, 2012 Author Share Posted November 20, 2012 Found out it was a problem with my alembic file. Also not sure it's the case with all abc files but it didn't have any velocity information in it. Plus was also a big drag to read in all the animation on every frame, slowed it down too much. Fixed now though. Cheers! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
J_spad Posted September 5, 2013 Share Posted September 5, 2013 I am having the same issue. Can you elaberate on the workflow for an export? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
theviolator Posted September 6, 2013 Share Posted September 6, 2013 (edited) I usually change the alembic to "use houdini geometry" (inside the alembic options). Its actually pretty nice that now Houdini 12.5 supports UV information in the alembic file so you can export it to any software that supports alembic and rock on Oh, almost forgot to mention that scatter points from source on alembic object doesn't work in the latest build of Houdini, it will be fixed (hopefully) in H13. I personally prefer 12.5.316.22 Edited September 6, 2013 by theviolator Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
