USD files to Octane for C4D

[Martange]

Hey all,

I need to import a crowd from Houdini and I have a usda file (calling numerous alembic files). This guy here https://youtu.be/B8xi31CBmIM?t=375 managed to do it super fast and easily in the Octane Standalone version but I can't seem to find a way to open it properly in C4D/Octane. C4D opens the file but all the abc are just null objects (abc files are not imported or referenced).

Is there something I am missing ?

Thanks by advance for any tips, this is getting quite urgent !

Hi,
a workaround could be to load the USD in Standalone, save it as .orbx package, then use the ORBX Loader object in c4doctane to import the scene like a c4d xref.

Great minds think alike, I just tried this an hour ago but the usda file is empty in the standalone version too...

I thought that it was because of a faulty file but the usda works in Nuke, Houdini and even Maya as we tested.

Ok, have you tried with new Standalone 2023.1.1?

if it still doesn't work, please report the issue in Standalone discussion, thanks.
