Creating a rawvox format importer


run

Recommended Posts

I had memory problems with large volumes as well, but when I shifted the python code into a command line script it used a lot less RAM. Instead of feeding it straight into Houdini with a python SOP I converted the rawvox to a .geo/bgeo file that could stream to stdout. After I did this I only had to add support to Houdini for my command line converter by modifying GEOio to pick it up.

There are other methods of the streaming the data into Houdini with a Python SOP without using a ton of RAM, but in my experience they are too slow to be usable.
