I don't believe you can straight convert bgeo to vrmesh. Simply convert your bgeo to either obj or ply in Houdini depending on your scene and then convert your obj/ply to vrmesh.

1)its fluid meshed animation.

2)obj or ply are double space memory than bgeo.

just want bgeo to vrmesh if is posible

thanks

have found solution thanks by igor zanic, its bug with particlesurface mesh, using vdb works and exporting as .bhclassic, then convert to .bgeo and convert into vrmesh with ply2vrmesh, yeah.

now i must find the way to convert auto all the frames as animation, maybe with .bat script, let me know if you know how is the script to convert automatic all frames.

thanks!

You can also add:

HOUDINI_GEOMETRY_FORMAT = hclassic

to your houdini environment file but this seems to stop vdb mantra operations from running but you won't have to do any conversion.

The hclassic format does not support VDBs at all because VDBs were only added after the new geometry format.
