hendrikc Posted November 1, 2018 Share Posted November 1, 2018 (edited) Curves to Guides with Python/MEL Hi, For my current Houdini/Maya project I need a tool for quick conversion of externally generated curves to Xgen. Import works fine but couldn't figure out a way to convert via Python/MEL. cmds.xgmMakeGuideDynamic(createFromCurves = True,deleteCurves = False, preserveDynamicLink = False) Python code above failed with following error message (with Curves selected): # RuntimeError: No valid modifier node specified. # XGen: (kFailure): Unexpected Internal Failure # Thanks Edited November 1, 2018 by hendrikc Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Neowuf Posted November 9, 2018 Share Posted November 9, 2018 XGen have a curve to guides utilities, maybe that's what you are looking for ? I know Xgen but still learning Houdini. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hendrikc Posted November 12, 2018 Author Share Posted November 12, 2018 Thanks:) But that is basically what I was trying to automate if possible to generate hair on procedural assets imported with Houdini Engine. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
