Hi all,
I am trying to export my simulation into UE4. I have successfully exported a abc file. The issue is the pivot point for mesh is way out in space. How do I get my pivot point to be centered on my mesh when I export the alembic file?

One screen shot shows it in Houdini the other is in UE4. Anyway of controlling this?

Move the simulation to the origin before export.

How do I go about doing that?

I've never exported anything to UE before but changing the pivot position should do it.

You can put a transform SOP before exporting and click Move Centroid to Origin. Or translate the pivot point inside the transform SOP.
