Re: Motionblur on geometry from Houdini via alembic?

Hi Oscar, Thanks a lot for this one - I got a few things straightened out after looking at your setup, but the dealbreaker was not being able to read the v attribute through Crate. Now I just have to get some stuff about rendering the motionblur correctly in Arnold. It is not as straightforwar

I just find out that if your attribute is called v crate wont read it, I used an attribute rename node to rename it as 'vel' and turn on the custom checkbox in the alembic node and it works. Here is a small sample, just put the files in the root of a softimage project: https://www.dropbox.com/s/00

Yes I am using Crate. I have also tried setting up the ICE tree described for importing custom attributes in their docs: https://docs.google.com/document/d/1SEZhypDrmFRO_rSmfuv7QCNzs7jVSHG_KeUauizcS9o/edit But I get values 0,0,0 for the v attribute, and no motionblur, so a bit lost regarding ho

This makes sense. The thing is I can't see any way to get to the velocity attribute from Houdini in to ICE. The v attribute should have been written in the alembic file from Hodini but is clearly not being picked up by Arnold and I can't see it in the explorer either. Morten > Den 22. decemb

If its point count varying geometry then your motion blur should come from a velocity attribute. That error message to my understanding means that since the points counts don't match between frame intervals motion blur can't be calculated by Arnold, that's how it's done by default. If you have you

I am sure some people on this list have done this, so I need some help with a problem: I am getting odd motionblur results on geometry imported from Houdini as alembic, and get this message: # WARNING : [sitoa] point count mismatch for Model__h_drop.FLUID in the shutter interval. Disabling mot
