Houdini 20.0 Nodes Geometry nodes

Labs Multi File geometry node

Load several Geometry files at once

This node type is hidden. It is no longer supported.

The File SOP is limited where it can only load a single File at once.

There are several workflows where your models might be split up into parts, or you might want to batch process a lot of files in a for loop easily.

This node is a helper node that wraps the File SOP in a For Loop and will merge the contents of several File SOPs into a single piece of geometry.

Tip

You can separate and visualize the imported geometry easily with the Align and Distribute GameDev Tool
