cwalrus Posted October 21, 2015 Share Posted October 21, 2015 can you bring Obj's INTO your scene - i don't mean import - I mean have their data actually live in the houdini scene file without referencing the external obj file Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
anim Posted October 21, 2015 Share Posted October 21, 2015 you can lock the File SOP after loading the obj (or any sop to store it's geometry in hipfile ) just Ctrl+Click the lock flag (second flag) http://www.sidefx.com/docs/houdini15.0/nodes/sop/#sop_flags Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

michael Posted October 22, 2015 Share Posted October 22, 2015 note that this is not generally a good idea it will make your hip file much larger and the geometry will sit in memory even if it isn't being used/displayed Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cwalrus Posted October 22, 2015 Author Share Posted October 22, 2015 yes, but it seems like I can't export an hda to maya without doing that. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest mantragora Posted October 22, 2015 Share Posted October 22, 2015 You can also store geometry in HDA in ExtraFiles tab and reference it. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
anim Posted October 22, 2015 Share Posted October 22, 2015 yes, but it seems like I can't export an hda to maya without doing that.Of course you canIf obj path your hda is pointing to the same location it will load that geo, so just be careful about relative paths You can as well expose the path on your asset so you can change it in maya if you need to Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
