supremeoh Posted July 10, 2015 Share Posted July 10, 2015 Hey guys , So I'm following the cmivfx Directable particles in H14, and I'm having trouble in the beginning where I have to write out .PC files. I keep getting a convert .i3d error message; And also when it does write when I try bringing the file back in nothing appears on the view port. Any help will be appreciated. Thanks a lot. direct_particles_002.hipnc Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Robert Posted July 14, 2015 Share Posted July 14, 2015 It won't properly write out .pc files if there are still groups present on the geometry. Put a group SOP before your ROP output set to edit -> delete-> * and it should work. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
supremeoh Posted July 17, 2015 Author Share Posted July 17, 2015 (edited) Thanks for the help. It seems to be able to write out the .PC files now, but when I bring them back in with the file SOP and middle click on it. The nodes empty, there's no details or info. Each file written is only 1KB. I'm not really sure whats wrong now. Any advice?Thanks Edited July 17, 2015 by supremeoh Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ledenko Posted October 22, 2015 Share Posted October 22, 2015 Sorry to bring this back from the dead, but I'm having the exact same issue. I'd like to learn about point clouds but I'm utterly stuck on this step. Even tried assigning a shader with pcwrite but that would only write out a single file and overwrite it with each successive frame. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fathom Posted October 22, 2015 Share Posted October 22, 2015 use .bgeo instead maybe? the only time i've found .pc to be absolutely necessary is when using the pcopenlod() function in vex. other than that, it seems like bgeo files work just fine.
