Having problems with export to alembic (C4D)

[Alwayswannacid]

So, I’m trying to make an RBD simulation with scatter/copy to points. The problem is that when exporting to C4D, the geometry comes along, making the rest of the process too complicated.

How do I transfer the points with attributes? I’m providing the .hip file, the node setup, and some screenshots related to the issues. Thanks!

ive already tried using the tttribute wrangle, but it didn’t work.

My guess might be you're not excluding your collision surface. Click on the green dopnet1 node and look for a field with a *. That means import everything from inside the network. You can exclude nodes from import by leveraging the caret symbol ^. For instance, here is a common extension to that import field to exclude the ground plane. Dive inside your dopnet to determine the names of the nodes.

* ^groundplane1

You can also do the inverse. Drop the * and explicitly reference a single node.

Hey Atom!! I applied that on my setup and after some adjustments, i managed to make it work. Thank you.
