Hi!

In Maya, there's an Arnold option called Arnold -> Utilities ->Bake Selected Geometry. For exemple, if you have a grid with arnold subdivisions and displacement, it will export exactly what you see at render time (to whatever geo fileformat your want).

I can't find the same option in Houdini. Anybody knows where to find this?

Bump! Any ideas on how to do this?

Bump! Is it impossible?

Here's a video showing what I mean(timestamped)

ARG!

I think the option is in the Arnold node (OUT context). There's an option in Properties -> Baking. It's the "Bake Displacement Geometry".

Sadlly, my Arnold (or Houdini) version doesn't have it...
