jiayujinn 0 Posted June 23, 2016 (edited) Hello everyone, I would like to ask about how to import an open vector illustrator file in houdini to make an open curve? My ai file is saved as ai 8. Please see the files I attach below. Thank you so much! Fingerprint.ai (.ai) (.c4d) (.hip) Edited June 23, 2016 by jiayujinn Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Atom 1,489 Posted June 23, 2016 Just save it out as a .abc from Cinema4d and bring it into Houdini. The Illustrator workflow is limited in Houdini. fingerprint.abc 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

lukeiamyourfather 191 Posted October 28, 2019 Zombie thread alert. I figured I'd share this solution for folks that come across this thread in the future years later like I did. The Ends SOP node can be used to delete the loop so the curves are open instead of closed. Set the Close U parameter to Open and it should work. 2 5 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
