ORBX from 3ds max crashes in Houdini

[Ebo]

Hi, I have saved simple scene with 3ds max toORBX and tried to load it in Houdini and it crashes as soon as I press IPR.

Ok. Let me investigate what could be the problem. This orbx file has an embedded alembic node inside, something that perhaps is not directly supported by the plugin code.

Thanks,

Do you know if the max plugin has any option to configure the .orbx export feature? This file is really weird to be used as a proxy object from the Houdini plugin, making the Octane core crash while trying to render it. Probably this kind of .orbx scene structure is not compatible with the Houdini plugin scene architecture.

Thanks,

I've reported this issue to the Octane core devs to check if it could be possible to support the rendering of this kind of scenes.

Thanks,
