You need no QuadroFX card for running Gelato, it's just marketing, every GeForce above the outdated FX 5600 will do it.

There is also Behavior from Softimage, which has also a RB solver. It's a very strong tool with a very good mr pipeline. We used it for a feature film and it worked very well.

No, no groups. The network consists only of a geo import node, it's a simple import of a .bgeo file.

There are no double vertices, edges or polys. But there are some extracted polys after the export. That's strange because in Houdini I have only one mesh. The corrupt vertex normals are only a problem when Consolidate Points is on.

After piping the poly object through the Facet SOP the normals are unusable in XSI because of the Consolidate Points operation. Unfortunately no operation in the SOP prevents the scattering of the mesh. The scattered polys looses also all internal edges. :?:

But why has Houdini 7 still the glightwave command and it is also still in the online docs?
However, of course it is not so a big problem since I can convert the geometry from obj to lwo in any other program. I only wanted to try the lwo format because the obj looked strange to me. In Houdini I had only one mesh but in XSI the obj was fragmented in 3 patches or so after the import from Houdini.

I tried it. When saving from the GUI the export file dialog stays open after I press accept and the file is empty, no error message. But .obj and .dxf are working.

I want to convert an poly object from the .bgeo format to .lwo with glightwave. Unfortunately I get always the following error:
- Unable to save destination file x.lwo
It's not very specific. And converting the file to .obj with gwavefront does work well. So what can cause this error message? glightwave writes the file to disk but it's empty.

That sound very interesting! I'm not interested in an instancer and I don't want to have the master objects in the scene. I would like to write sequences of plotted envelopes or shapes of some hundred objects onto the disk and read them at run-time from the Shader or Mantra. Can I do that with the first option you mentioned? Houdini procedurals are also very promising because I'm looking forward in parsing the geometry from a custom file format. But for that it seems I have to do some coding with the HDK. It would be nice if I can get around with the .ifd format.

A mr geometry shader generates procedural geometry or other scene elements. It is evaluated before any other kind of shader. I like to use this sort of shaders in XSI especially when having a mass of characters or tons of redundant geometry.

What about the Sidefx Houdini list? Is it really so quiet or went something wrong with my registration?

Are there enough companys working with Houdini and jobs for me to devote time away from my usual package and get to know Houdini more?

Can I find anywhere some new feature promotion videos of version 7? I found nothing on the sidefx side except the new feature list.
