FXdaze Posted August 20, 2008 Share Posted August 20, 2008 Massive --> Houdini Hi Everyone. Just checking in to see if anyone has recommendations or tips about going from Massive to Houdini. I know that fbx files can be taken from Maya to Houdini, but was hoping for a more direct route. Any info would be much appreciated. anna.

Jason Posted August 20, 2008 Share Posted August 20, 2008 All I know is that the standalone mcacclaim converter need some work by SESI before it can handle the .asm's and .asfs that Massive produces. I did RFE a ton of them when I was at DD to try to get a direct route going. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aracid Posted August 20, 2008 Share Posted August 20, 2008 Hey Anna Are you just trying to get agent data across for foot placement or actual rigs ? Just for foot placement it would be quiet easy to write a apf interrogator in a python sop to extract that data. brian Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chunkified Posted August 20, 2008 Share Posted August 20, 2008 check the Houdini exchange... There's a few tools and a tutorial on there for going from Massive to Houdini. (just search "Massive" on the exchange) It's for Massive 2.x and I haven't used it with version 3 but I'm sure it gets you at least 90% of the way...
