Houdini 20.0 Nodes Geometry nodes

DOP I/O geometry node

Imports fields from DOP simulations, saves them to disk, and loads them back again.

This node type is deprecated. It is scheduled to be deleted in an upcoming revision of Houdini.

Use DOP Import Field and File Cache instead

(Since version 19.5.)

Since 10.0

The DOP I/O SOP is designed to streamline the common operation of importing many fields from fluid simulations into SOPs. It also includes a Geometry ROP to save these fields to disk and the option to load from disk rather than use the live simulation.

Parameters

Load from Disk

Switches between importing fields from DOPs and loading the fields from the geometry file.

Note

If you start a render, it will always use the Import option, ignoring this parameter.

Geometry File

Where to load the fields from when in Load from Disk mode. This also controls where the Geometry ROP will save the fields.

Import from DOPs

See the Dop Import Fields SOP help for these parameters.

Save to File

See the Geometry ROP help for these parameters.

Load From File

See the File SOP help for these parameters.
