theois Posted March 8, 2021 Share Posted March 8, 2021 Hi everyone, I've got an alembic archive which shows up fine in the viewport but renders as spheres. All the twigs are instances scattered on the tree. Any pointers to what settings to change to fix this? I'm using 18.0.597 Thanks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Skybar Posted March 8, 2021 Share Posted March 8, 2021 You probably have some unconnected points in there that will render as a sphere by default. You can change this setting to turn that off. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
theois Posted March 8, 2021 Author Share Posted March 8, 2021 Thanks Skybar, but the geo node doesn't have those options -- must be something to do with importing alembic archive as one node Does anyone know what attribute to set to have the same effect because this is not exposed in the interface Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ryew Posted March 8, 2021 Share Posted March 8, 2021 Difficult to help troubleshoot without a file to check, but if I create an Alembic Archive and add a Geometry node inside it to replicate what you show here, I do still see all relevant options on the Geometry tab. You might want to check the "Edit Parameter Interface" window via the Gear icon on your geo node to see if the option has not just been made invisible while set to "Render Unconnected Points" as Skybar suggests. Your Alembic Archive may also be set to "Display As Full Geometry" which would explain why it still looks okay in the viewport Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
