frozens Posted August 21, 2016 Share Posted August 21, 2016 I updated Houdini 15.5.480 to 15.5.565 just few days ago. After install 15.5.565 Houdini couldn't open OBJ files... It said "Unable to read file". It this problem only happens to me? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Federico Posted August 21, 2016 Share Posted August 21, 2016 You can open the obj with other softwares? Just to remove the possibility of a corrupted file. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Federico Posted August 21, 2016 Share Posted August 21, 2016 (edited) I believe i found your problem after replicating your scene. You have a number in your obj, and you probably imported it using the "sequence option" (you can disable it when choosing the file). Right now you will see your object on frame 1969. I just reported my post to the staff trying to quote your name :/ Edited August 21, 2016 by Federico 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Atom Posted August 21, 2016 Share Posted August 21, 2016 Good call on the number. You also want to avoid putting spaces in names or paths. Use underscores _ instead. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think something is problem with phython 2.7 in Windows 10 Redstone update. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Atom Posted August 22, 2016 Share Posted August 22, 2016 You do have to click the Save To Disk button on the ROP before the file gets written to disk. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

f1480187 Posted August 22, 2016 Share Posted August 22, 2016 (edited) You may try to open it with text editor and manually remove everything except geometry (vertices and faces), normals and uvs. There is no common OBJ library used by every software, and some apps like ZBrush may add to OBJes it's own stuff, which doesn't exist in specifications found online. Houdini also doen't support some OBJ features used by another apps. Just open the geo in another app and export FBX into Houdini. Blender should be fine.

That OBJ file was able to load on Houdini 15.5.480 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
