Bernard Posted June 26, 2005 Share Posted June 26, 2005 Hello, what is a file with a .bgeo extension? Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mark Posted June 27, 2005 Share Posted June 27, 2005 bgeo is Houdini's native geometry object format. Houdini's version of OBJ, DXF etc. right-click on a SOP and select "save geometry" to save a bgeo, then use a file SOP to import it elsewhere.

stu Posted June 27, 2005 Share Posted June 27, 2005 ...and don't forget .gzbgeo, the compressed version. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheUsualAlex Posted June 27, 2005 Share Posted June 27, 2005 ...and don't forget .gzbgeo, the compressed version. 19061[/snapback] Actually, I thought it was just .gz, no? ANd you'd may have to edit the GEOio table to have it support compression of your choice. So, even .rar or any arbitrary compression format is supported. In theory.

edward Posted June 27, 2005 Share Posted June 27, 2005 .gzbgeo is not a real format. In certain studios (<wink>), they added the .gzbgeo extension to their $HH/GEOio file so that it runs it through gzip for compression. In Houdini 7.0, the .gz extension was added to the $HH/GEOio for convenience. Thus something like mymodel.bgeo.gz would work by decompressing it via gunzip when reading it.

With just the .gz extension you have to add in the .bgeo yourself. If you pick .gz in the list it will still save it out as a bgeo that has been gzipped but its helpful to know that the gzipped file is a bgeo.....hence the gzbgeo. But I'm not defending anything. But the edward is right..... .gzbgeo is not a real format....the only real format is .bz2bgeo Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jason Posted June 27, 2005 Share Posted June 27, 2005 Oh that note, has anyone tried 7zip? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
