Having an issue with Houdini Alembic to Maya


Recommended Posts

thanks mangi .... i observed that just save attribute check is on while exporting into alembic working in your case :\

also 2 attributes

-root object

-objects

they are not locked but inactive , are these the real culprits, curios to know the answer !!

Root Object

The root object of the scene. All displayed objects contained under this node will be included in the Alembic archive.

Objects

A pattern/bundle of objects to include in the alembic archive.

Also Save Attributes is just for that , saving attributes. " save attribute check" this is on by default.

Hello for the oldest version of maya it seem that between houdini alembic loose one connection between connectAttr the AlembicNode.outPolyMesh and the geo .inMesh;

you can fix it in your hypergraph connection and do manually the connection.

or run connectAttr NAME OF YOUR ALEMBIC_AlembicNode.outPolyMesh[0] NAMEOFYOURGEO.inMesh;

Tossing this into this thread in the hope it'll help someone --

I, in the good year of our lord 2020 (who am I kidding, this is the worst goddamn year), ran into this issue, and the root cause was a bad path variable. We had an artist exporting using a prim 'path' variable to create hierarchy in Maya. However, his path values were all over the place, wildly inconsistent. 

What Maya is looking for is something like this:

/Group/Object/ObjectShape

Once we fixed that, everything worked much better.
