tronkyfran2 Posted May 27, 2020 Share Posted May 27, 2020 Hi! New user here. Was testing the software expecting it to help me with some big FBX files that needs to be polygon optimized. I come from a 3dsmax background so progressing slowly here. Ive some fbx coming from catia files that are BIG. Big in the GB size, and big on the number of objects(tens of thousands or even hundreds). I was trying to import some of this files and it really looks that hoidini cant do it properly, waited for 6-7 hours and nothing. SO I tried with a file in he 300 MB size, and happened the same. Im sure Im doing something wrong, because 3dsmax import it with no issues, maybe I have to wait an hour or two, but thats it. I dont want to give up so early, any help on this? Thanks in advance!!

Hi, did you try to use the file sop? Or how are you importing? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Noobini Posted May 31, 2020 Share Posted May 31, 2020 well try your workflow on a single sphere, see how you go. Yeah that sounds ridiculously simple, but that's my approach. at least I won't have to wait for hours for something to comeback...or at least I KNOW it should not take hours.

Noobini Posted May 31, 2020 Share Posted May 31, 2020 here's a free sample catia object from turbosquid, i used max to convert to FBX, then Houdini imports fine...whole workflow should take seconds, not hours. So until you can handle this simple file...no point thinking about a "gigabyte" file. Washer_SS_(7-8_ID).zip Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
