madrenderman Posted August 26, 2016 Share Posted August 26, 2016 Hello guys, I just followed this (incredible) tutorial by Tolya Shuverov to create a spider web (https://vimeo.com/163840170). Now I want to export to Maya using Alembic, I used file node or the rop alembic node, but when I import it in Maya it results in a single transform node with thousands of shape nodes inside (one for each Houdini primitive). So I can't manipulate it, and even opening the attribute editor is a very long process. How can I export the file so that in Maya I can see a transform node for each primitive ? Thank you Ray Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
madrenderman Posted August 26, 2016 Author Share Posted August 26, 2016 (edited) It seems that I made it, I created a primitive attribute (string) and put the value "$PR". Then in the Rop alembic output I enabled "build hierarchy from attribute" and specified the new attribute. And it works ! Is this the correct workflow ? Thank you Ray Edited August 26, 2016 by madrenderman 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
