TRH456 Posted December 17, 2021 Share Posted December 17, 2021 Hi All, I have a strange issue involving Houdini not reading a UDIM sequence. The file names are ordered as BaseColor.1061.exr through to BaseColor.2994.exr I can read the files into COPs just fine when reading them as a frame sequence ($F) but trying to read the as a UDIM sequence into a Mantra texture node, I get "Error reading file". I haven't come up against this problem before, I have verified the files aren't corrupt and run through the sequence in Nuke. There are a few gaps in the numbers but I didn't think that would cause a problem. If anyone has any insight it would be greatly appreciated. Thanks, Tom Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Howitzer99 Posted January 18, 2022 Share Posted January 18, 2022 Make sure that you're using the correct syntax for UDIMs in the filename. The syntax for UDIM files is filename%(UDIM)d.ext where %(UDIM)d takes the place of the frame number. So if you had image1001.exr, image1002.exr, it'd be image%(UDIM)d.exr. https://forums.odforce.net/topic/25986-what-is-the-udim-multi-uv-workflow-in-houdini/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
