dbukovec Posted August 9, 2007 Share Posted August 9, 2007 Hi! I just wanted to ask what is the procedure for archiving a geometry or an animation, then instancing it onto boxes or nulls, in Houdini? thanks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stevenong Posted August 9, 2007 Share Posted August 9, 2007 The Wiki has a section on MantraInstancing. Here's a thread for rendering Geometry from disk. You can also check out the Archive ROP. Cheers! steven Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dbukovec Posted August 10, 2007 Author Share Posted August 10, 2007 Suppose the Archive Generator ROP is not available in Apprentice, since i can't find it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stevenong Posted August 10, 2007 Share Posted August 10, 2007 Erm... which version are you using? I checked 8.1.802 & 9.0.674 Apprentice and there is an Archive Generator ROP. Cheers! steven Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dbukovec Posted August 10, 2007 Author Share Posted August 10, 2007 (edited) hi! I'm using 9.684, the newest. But anyway isn't the geometry saving disabled in apprentice? except for static models. The closest thing i found is the Geometry ROP. Edited August 10, 2007 by dbukovec Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stevenong Posted August 10, 2007 Share Posted August 10, 2007 Geometry saving was enabled in 8.1 and the Geometry ROP will work for what you need. I know why the Archive Generator ROP is not showing up for you. It's because you're running Escape instead of Master. Cheers! steven Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
