haggi 37 Posted November 23, 2017 Hi, during the work with my maya alembic reader, I discovered a problem with alembic files written by houdini. Obviously Houdini exports an additional point geometry together with my mesh. If I load the alembic in Maya, I get a mesh shape and a particle shape. In houdini I can see two packed objects in the alembic sop. This only happens in certain situations. e.g. if I create a box and deform it, only one packed object is created in the alebic export. Only if I export my flip mesh an additional packed point geometry is exported and I get a warning in the exporter: "Renaming node to /geo1/file3_1 to resolve collision". Does anyone know what's going on here? It seems not to be a new phenomenon, it happens the same way with H16. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
schwungsau 272 Posted November 24, 2017 never had issues with it. you should check if all data garbage data is removed. all un-needed point /primitive und specially details attributes. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
LaidlawFX 262 Posted November 24, 2017 You may need to make a simplified example scene to demo the issue. I'm guessing it's specific to your setup. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
