I'm writing a custom importer for Houdini to be able to load .igmesh files Houdini. However Houdini throws an error “Unable to read file C
input.igmesh”.So far I've been registering the importer in geoio.json and it's properly recognized by Houdini. When I use a file node and select an .igmesh file my importer .exe is invoked correctly with “C
input.igmesh” and “stdout.geo” as arguments (I'm writing out a log file so I know what's going on).For debug purposes I'm not parsing the input geometry, instead the .geo geometry I'm creating is always a simple cube. I can load the generated cube to Houdini, so the .geo file that I generate is valid.
So most probably Houdini does not find the file I'm generating, does that make sense??
My importer stores the output geometry in the current working directory - I compared this behaviour to the gwavefront.exe importer and they do exactly the same in terms of output directory and file names…
Did anyone here already write an importer?
