Aw: RE: bin format from soft to maya

[Leo Quensel]

Just a guess:

Did you try creating a custom per particle attribute in Maya BEFORE (!) assigning your cache?

I had no trouble getting my custom attributes over this way.

Never mind gang, Exocortex crate seems to be the answer!

Subject: bin format from soft to maya

Hi folks, this is a strange one, I need to get particles from ICE to maya via the realflow bin format.  This is because this seems to be the only format that the Naiad emp converter works with from ICE.

 

All works fine but I don't seem to be able to get point velocity into Maya, which is the whole purpose of the exercise...

I have tried adding velocity in the tree, even using names that Maya would recognise (like WorldVelocity and AngularVelocityPP)

 

Any help greatly appreciated.
