Thanks Dan, Was trying to help a colleague, but we just couldn't get the attributes though. Ended up rebuilding the whole thing in houdini, a lot more control at the end. ;) On 28 October 2015 at 10:41, Oscar Juarez wrote: > Ah yes, with that works as expected but with Crate they are passed

Custom attributes pass as an array detail attribute, or at least in my case was like that, so you will have to do something else inside houdini to pass them as per point data. On Tue, Oct 27, 2015 at 8:04 PM, Dan Yargici wrote: > Hey Cristobal. > > You need to make sure you force evaluation of t

2015-10-27 Thread Dan Yargici
Hey Cristobal. You need to make sure you force evaluation of the attributes you want to export. It's absolutely required from my experience. Thankfully with 2015 you can just open the Attribute Editor and tick the 'Always Evaluate' column for the ones you need to export without having to resort

Hi Dan, trying something similar today, did you manage to see "custom" ICE attributes as well? the convert node is left default? Can't seem to see them in Houdini, it gives me some but not all of them.. On 11 October 2015 at 22:19, Dan Yargici wrote: > Hi Ben, > > That's again for sharing this

Hi Ben, That's again for sharing this, very generous indeed. Would I be right in thinking that there's no version for 2015 on Linux? DAN On Fri, Oct 9, 2015 at 4:50 PM, Ben Houston wrote: > Crate should work on standard point clouds pretty well. > -ben > Best regards, > Ben Houston (Cell: 61

OK, for anyone else in the future: Keep the defaults for loading (i.e. 'Alembic Delayed Load Primitives') and then use a Convert node to unpack the data. All good now! DAN On Sat, Oct 10, 2015 at 5:04 PM, Dan Yargici wrote: > OK, my bad, I have the point positions (I forgot that they were mi

OK, my bad, I have the point positions (I forgot that they were miles from the origin!), however I'm at a loss as to where my attributes are. I tried using the 'Remap attributes' feature but the docs are lacking in this regard. DAN On Fri, Oct 9, 2015 at 2:50 PM, Ben Houston wrote: > Crate sh

Hi Andy, Soft 2015 (not SP1, no idea why...) and Houdini v14.0.395 I get one point, at zero when I use HDF5 and at a different coordinate when I use Ogawa. Thanks, DAN. On Fri, Oct 9, 2015 at 11:53 AM, Andy Goehler wrote: > Yes, I have done so. Are you not getting anything or are you missin

Hello all. Has anyone had any luck exporting pointclouds from Soft to Houdini using Alembic? I've tried all manner of combinations with the factory exporter and Crate with all their varying options with exactly zero success. Any tips? Thanks, DAN
