ORBX export and curves

[WoutTgh]

HI,

I'm exporting an ORBX file from Houdini, everything renders as expected in Standalone except the carpet in my scene, which is all curves. Do I have to manually add the carpet to the standalone scene through an alembic export ?

Also, no names are exported, so in Standalone it's all, "object layer".

Thanks!

I ended up creating a @width attribute to set the width of the curves as they were set in the obj paramters, so root thickness and tip thickness. Then exporting an alembic file just for the carpet and adding that to the Standalone scene. Not a very clean solution but works for now.

Maybe the curves don't get exported because everything is converted to obj's ? Just a thought ..

The exported ORBX scene is a bit messy, with no names it's very hard to untangle.

How are you exporting the scene? You should export it from the ROP node. The exporting of the scene from the IPR window is there only for testing purposes, and it doesn't support all the Octane features and object types.

Hi Juanjo,

I was indeed exporting it from the IPR window. Exporting it through the ROP imported the curves correctly. Still no names though
Thanks !
