MrGAG Posted November 15, 2008 Share Posted November 15, 2008 Hi everybody, I was wondering how I could offset a geometry sequence, rendered with houdini, so it's starting frame could be linked to a parameter. The only way I know to play an image sequence is : to put "C:/FILE_PATH/FILE_NAME_$F4.obj" in file name parameter of the file SOP But how can make the starting frame of my geo sequence to different than (?) $F4 ? I tried to put an expression ; something like : strcat("myfilepath",$MYVAR)`.obj` and some other stuf that didn't work ... could someone light my day ?

sibarrick Posted November 16, 2008 Share Posted November 16, 2008 Off the top of my head without testing I think this sould work C:/FILE_PATH/FILE_NAME_`clamp(padzero(4,$F-$OFFSET),0,9999)`.obj or try the timeshift sop or the cache sop Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
