Hi,

New to Houdini and having a blast. The indie / apprentice programs are awesome!

I have been passed a 2d drawing from my designers and I would like to import a path from photoshop or illustrator to do a poly extrude on it for my base geometry. Its a simple starting point I've been using as part of my workflow in C4D and I'm optimistic in hoping that's its possible in houdini. Is there a quick and simple answer at all?

Many thanks,

Yes it should work.

It may be best to save as Illustrator 8 format, uncompressed or as an .eps.

In Houdini use a fileSop to load the file in. The file will come in very big so you will have to frame-all in the viewport to see it.
