Hello everyone!
I'm trying to do an Octane scatter ( vertex Type ) on a point cloud generated in Houdini and export as alembic.
Till few versions ago we didn't have any problems but with the new version all the viewport freeze as soon as i load the alembic in the "surface" palette in the Octane scatter as you can see from the screenshot in the attachment.
is there a way to solve this ?

Hi Andrea,
try to use this alternative setup.
Merge the Alembic file and set the Points As Particle Geometry, insted of As Polygon Object.

Then go to menu Simulation/Thinking Particles/TP Settings and drag and drop the All Particle Groups in the Object source of a MoGraph Cloner, in Multi Instance mode:

Ciao Beppe!

Good news and bad news:

GOOD - Use it with the c4d cloner works! :)
BAD - but it's a lot way heavier then the octane scatter :(

I will try to make it llighter.

Thank you so much for the help!

It should work if you're using 2022.1.1-R4. Send me abc file if it's still not working.

You need C4D 2023.2 or greater, please go to your MyMaxon/Downloads page and download and install the update.
