Hi,

I haven't used the gconvert command line tool until recently, but I remember it being able to convert between all kinds of geometry formats. A few days ago when I gave it a try (wanted to convert to or from .obj), it couldn't do that. When I type gconvert, it says

— 2 supported formats —
0. ‘hjson’ – Houdini JSON Geometry
Read-Write
1. ‘hclassic’ – Houdini Classic Format
Read-Write


I remember this list having about almost 20 different formats. I tried this on two different machines (linux and windows) with the same result. (The gwavefront command works, though).

Anyone else experienced this?

This is a bug. There are many other formats supported, some natively (i.e. PRISMS .bpoly), some through translator applications (i.e. Wavefront .obj).

Thanks (I kinda suspected that)… Should I log this?

It should be fixed in tomorrow's build.

Much appreciated, cheers!
