Guest xionmark Posted April 18, 2010 Share Posted April 18, 2010 Hi Mark, Was curious if you've had a chance to look at this further. I saw you posted something in the mailing list earlier this week. We're currently working on a few effects at work where this would likely be an order of magnitude easier than our current workflow. Hi there, Yep, I'll have it finished Sunday (tomorrow). I ran into a problem using the GB_AttributeDict class in hopes to make attribute detection a little faster but it ended up not saving any significant time so I'm reverting to the original idea of providing a parameter for the user to indicate which attr's to export.

Allegro Posted May 26, 2010 Share Posted May 26, 2010 Just a small critique of the node. It'd be great if you could use * to export all attributes and ^ to exclude specific attributes from the *. I find that it's useful to import particles, tweak an attribute, and export them again, but kind of tedious to type out all the attribute names that need to be exported.

dannyODF Posted January 20, 2011 Share Posted January 20, 2011 hey, we are trying to get this plugin working here. We recompiled it on our system(linux) with houdini 11 but it fails on load with this error: Houdini DSO - error on '/jobs/spriteReimagined_2400746/tools/houdini11.0/dso/SOP_PDC_Export.so' [PATH]/tools/houdini11.0/dso/SOP_PDC_Export.so: undefined symbol: _ZNK7OP_Node21pushAsPwdAndRunPythonER15PY_CompiledCodeN9PY_Result4TypeERS2_ Houdini DSO - error on '/jobs/spriteReimagined_2400746/tools/houdini11.0/dso/SOP_PDC_Import.so' [PATH]/tools/houdini11.0/dso/SOP_PDC_Import.so: undefined symbol: _ZNK7OP_Node21pushAsPwdAndRunPythonER15PY_CompiledCodeN9PY_Result4TypeERS2_ maybe its not made for houdini 11? Unfortunately we don't have tons of Houdini knowledge so any help is much appreciated. thanks! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest xionmark Posted January 20, 2011 Share Posted January 20, 2011 You wouldn't have been able to compile it without making changes to the source code to accommodate the changes in the HDK for H11. There will be an update available later today, I just have to dig it up out of my archives and post it on our web site. No windows version though, Linux and maybe OSX.

Guest xionmark Posted January 22, 2011 Share Posted January 22, 2011 So I dug up the source code but it's built for H10. I've got most of the importer converted but haven't tested yet. Should be able to get it done by the end of the weekend. For some reason I thought H11 was going to have support for PDC like they did with MDD (Point Oven) files a few versions ago. I guess not. hmm ... I should probably make the importer a CMD ... then it can be added to the GEOio file ... or maybe it should be called via Python to avoid the required recompiles ...

Guest xionmark Posted January 23, 2011 Share Posted January 23, 2011 All done. You can find the new source code, example file and DSO (compiled for Linux64 bit) at: http://digitalcinemaarts.com/dev/SOP_PDC/ Cheers, Mark Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dannyODF Posted January 24, 2011 Share Posted January 24, 2011 great, much appreciated. I will give it a try asap, thanks! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
papicrunch Posted May 3, 2011 Share Posted May 3, 2011 hi, first thank for sharing your tools ! But is someone have a compiled version for houdini 11.701 windows 64 bits ? thank you thomas Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
meeotch Posted May 18, 2011 Share Posted May 18, 2011 I'll second that request. Just found this thread today, googling for a way to get pdc's into houdini. I'm on H11.0, Win7 64bit. If anyone's got a working build to share, I'd be grateful. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Green-Man Posted October 4, 2011 Share Posted October 4, 2011 I've tried to compile source code v1.5.1 under Win7 x64 / Houdini 11 And just after that figured out that it shouldn't work with H11 This dll crashes Houdini 11 if cooking. Maybe someone can test it on H10? SOP_PDC.ZIP Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest xionmark Posted October 4, 2011 Share Posted October 4, 2011 I've compiled on Linux for H11 with no problems, here's the latest source code if you don't have it: http://www.digitalcinemaarts.com/dev/SOP_PDC/download/Houdini_PDC_v1.5.1_H11.0.tar.gz --Mark Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes, I've used the same code. And compiling just Maya PDC Import. Some changes for compiling with VS2005 Renamed all *.C to *.cpp In SOP_PDC_Import.cpp Add: #include <stdafx.h> In Maya_PDC_File.h instead of: #include <cstdio> #include <cstdlib> I've used: #include <stdio.h> #include <stdlib.h> and added: #include <vector> I think those changes aren't problems with crashing H11. Probably I should tweak parameters of the compiler and linker. How do you think may I compile for x64 or only for WIN32? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How do you think may I compile for x64 or only for WIN32? Hello, I really don't know, sorry, I haven't compiled on Windows for a long time. Whether you use hcustom from the command line (which is what I use to do) or make a Visual Studio project, you'll need to make sure all the flags in the Makefile are passed into the compile process. There are numerous version dependent switches that rely on those flags being set. --Mark Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bhenriksson Posted November 24, 2011 Share Posted November 24, 2011 Hey and thanks for a great tool. We were just about to use it in a production when we found that maya chrashes when rendering these particles with motion blur within maya. Both Software and VRay seg faults, below is their respective error messages. I've tried to export caches from maya, read them into houdini and export them again and they do work until I start removing attributes but the chrashes are very inconsistent and a cache that works can crash after just closing/opening maya. This combined with the vrays error message seem to implicate that maya makes assumptions about the caches. But I'm really stuck so I would be very grateful for any response. Software: maya encountered a fatal error Signal: 11 (Unknown Signal) Stack trace: /lib64/libc.so.6 [0x3d706302d0] TdynParticleCache::replaceCacheWithCache(TdynAttributeCache&, unsigned int&, TanimTime const&, bool) TdynParticleCache::copyCacheToDifferentTime(unsigned int&, TanimTime const&, bool, bool) TdynParticleCache::interpolate(unsigned int&, unsigned int&, TanimTime const&) TdynParticleCache::interpolateCache(TanimTime const&) TdynParticleCache::getAttributeCache(TanimTime const&, bool) TdynParticleShape::restoreCachedAttributes(TdynParticleCache*, TanimTime, bool) TdynParticleShape::usingCachedAttributes(TdataBlock&, TanimTime, Tstring const*) TdynParticleShape::computeCount(TdataBlock&) TdynParticleShape::computePlug(Tplug const&, TdataBlock&) TdependNode::dbEvaluate(TmsgEval&) TdagObject::dbEvaluate(TmsgEval&) TdependNode::mpSafeDbEvaluateWithSet(TmsgEval&) Tplug::evaluateValue(TdataHandle&, TdataBlock const&, bool) const TdataBlockDG::value(Tattribute const&) TdynParticleShape::computePlug(Tplug const&, TdataBlock&) TdependNode::dbEvaluate(TmsgEval&) TdagObject::dbEvaluate(TmsgEval&) TdependNode::mpSafeDbEvaluateWithSet(TmsgEval&) Tplug::getValue(TdataHandle&, TdataBlock const&, bool, bool, bool) const TdependNode::getPlugValue(Tplug const&, TdataHandle&, TdgContext const&) TdependNode::processMessage(Tmsg&) TdagObject::processMessage(Tmsg&) TdependNode::mpSafeProcessMessage(Tmsg&) Tmsg::send() TmsgPlugValue::send() TdynParticleAttr::usrAttr(TdynParticleShape*, char const*, TdoubleArray const*&) TdynParticleAttr::initialize(TdynParticleShape*) TdynParticleAttr::TdynParticleAttr(TdagObject const*) TdynParticleInfo::createInfo(TdagObject*) Vray: /lib64/libc.so.6 [0x3d706302d0] MFnParticleSystem::particleIds(MIntArray&) const particlesGetSortedIds(MFnParticleSystem&, VUtils::PtrArray<int>&) AnimatedParticlePositionListParam::getVectorListKeyFrame(VUtils::PtrArray<VUtils::Vector>&) DefInterpolatedVectorListParam::createKeyFrame(double, int) CreateKeyFrameCb::process(VUtils::VRayPluginParameter*) VUtils::VRayParameterList::enumParams(VUtils::EnumParamsCallback&) CreateKeyFrameCb::process(Plugin*) DefaultPluginManager::enumPlugins(EnumPluginCallback*) VRayForMayaExporter::createKeyFrame(PluginManager*, double, int, FrameParameters*, int) VRayMayaRenderer::callCreateKeyframe(double, bool, FrameParameters*, int) VRayMayaRenderer::advanceTimeAndCreateKeyframes() VRayMayaRenderer::renderSequence() VRayMayaRenderer::renderImpl() VRayMayaRenderer::render(VUtils::VRayVFB*, MayaRenderParams const&) VRendCmd::doIt(MArgList const&) THcommandObject::doIt(TargList&) TmetaCommand::doCommand(TargList&) Mel_Command_Dispatch_old(SphNode*) node_exec sophia_call_executable SophiaExecutable::evaluate(void*) TcommandEngine::executeCommand(SophiaExecutable*, void*) TelfEvalCmd::doCommand(TargList&) Mel_Command_Dispatch(SphNode*) node_exec f_function_entry_node node_exec f_function_entry_node node_exec Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
