Houdini Indie and Apprentice » Importing Alembic.. everything seems ok except I can't find UVs

Figured it out… Need to “convert” node the alembic to polygons in order to see the UV data inside.
Houdini Indie and Apprentice » Importing Alembic.. everything seems ok except I can't find UVs

I imported an object setup in Maya, with the hierarchy how I wanted for animation pivots etc.
Everything came in ok except I can't seem to see the UVs.
I have the UV window open but when I select the different geometries, inside the alembic archive node, so that they are highlighted I can't see anything appear in the UV window.
But… to test this I created a generic box and also can't see anything in the UV window when I have this box selected.
So I did a quick tutorial on how to setup uvs. But….
Is there some way to check for UVs that may be already in my alembic object AND do Houdini primitive objects come with a default UV like Maya or do you have to create them every time you create an object?
Thanks

Getting back into Houdini again.
I did this tutorial or a very similar one back in 2009.

For some reason I can't make the polywire part work in Houdini 14.
Somethings work differently. You use Forces which has noise instead of the noise shown.
You also use the Popnetwork_OLD instead of the popnetwork.
This all works fine until I add polywire after the trails node. It doesn't seem to work.
Do I need to add an attribute or make a group for it all to work now?
Thanks.

I think I know what is happening. That no matter which launcher I am using there is another Houdini Master open somewhere in the facility. Which uses the Master license and then it jumps to the Houdini Escape license which is the only other one available.
These are all version 14 builds. I think I will install 15 and use Apprentice for learning that way I wont grab escape or the Master licenses needed.

OOps nope. Scratch that. It was fine again last night now… this morning.
No particles. Says its Houdin FX version. Even though I am using Houdini master launcher..
No particles anywhere.
Yet last night before I left the same launcher started a version that had everything.
I just deleted the prefs again and no particles again.
Something is up.

Yes, it was the launcher chosen. The IT guy used a custom application launcher and picked Houdini escape version I think.
Though when I started Houdini Master it didn't give me the items I needed.
Found the prefs and deleted them and then upon restart everything looked as it should and functioned as expected.
Thank you.

Well, I've been doing CGI since 1995. Learned all the major apps except Houdini.
I've been given the greenlight to learn Houdini on the job (since I'm primarily a Maya TD) to help integrate the two packages.
We are on centOS and I am not sure Houdini 14 is running default shelves etc.
First tutorial I am doing requires me to create particles from a circle.
Only problem is that creating particles is nowhere in sight.
Not on the shelves. Not using TAB and starting to type in the node /obj view.
It is like it doesn't exist. I can't add the menu to the shelves because in the popup list I see everything except for particles.
Just basically want to reset to defaults but can't seem to find an easy way in the UI.
Do I just delete prefs somewhere in the /opt/hfs14.0.444 folders?
Any info appreciated.
