illob32 Posted February 10, 2008 Share Posted February 10, 2008 Hi all, I've bought "Cars 2007" from Dosch and tried importing an FBX file into Houdini. I can't see the materials, but when I import the same FBX into Cinema 4d, all the materials are there. Do you guys know what I'm doing wrong?

ihab Posted February 10, 2008 Share Posted February 10, 2008 Do you guys know what I'm doing wrong? the houdini fbx importer doesn't support materials "yet". cheers Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
illob32 Posted February 10, 2008 Author Share Posted February 10, 2008 thanks ihab what about OBJ files? I'm having the same issues when I try importing them... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ihab Posted February 10, 2008 Share Posted February 10, 2008 OBJ files are opened with a file node at the SOP level. It's only for importing geometry. OBJs carry UV data along with them so all you need to do is recreate your materials in houdini and apply them to your geometry (either from FBX or OBJ via a file sop). It's a bit tedious but, ... good luck cheers Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
