A. Morales Posted July 4, 2013 Share Posted July 4, 2013 Running into this problem on my current project, i have a debris geo being instanced randomly to a popnet system which i then spawn based on velocity of its source obj, everythings working great except getting the geo alembic'd out of houdini Writing to bgeos, then cleaning those bgeos up, the geo is there and displaying, it just doesnt want to alembic out, ive attached a small portion of my bgeso below for testing, try to alembic them out is this something that isnt currently supported or am i just doing something wrong? thanks -moferad Pavement_Debris.0005.zip Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Skybar Posted July 4, 2013 Share Posted July 4, 2013 It does actually work if you start the export from frame 3. The first 2 frames are empty. I believe it is so that (correct me if I'm wrong) Alembic can't export geometry which isn't present at the start frame. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

br1 Posted July 5, 2013 Share Posted July 5, 2013 I usually add a small cube somewhere in the scene to make sure there's always some geometry present, else, it won't export the sequence even though you have geometry appearing later on.
