Hello,

Is there a way to export particle files from Houdini in to a format like PRT that Krakatoa can use?

There is no built-in plug in for prt format.

If you know the technical details of the format you are exporting to, you can write your own exporter in python.

It is also possible to create a custom file IO plugin, but this requires creating a dynamic library from compiled C++ source code.

Perhaps someone has already done this and is distributing it as open source.

looks fairly simple:

I guess thinkbox already made a plugin, but it's for an old version of Houdini:

Thanks

There's this one:

Thanks but that seems to be for Windows. I need it for Mac.
