Hello,

I am having some issues with using an alembic file with a dop net. I have it currently set to load houdini geo however I am still unable to use it as collision geo in my dop net for a pyro sim as it is not bringing the animation into dops (it is a moving cannon on a ship). I can see the animation in the view port but in dops It holds the animation on the first frame.

So far I have tried to do an object merge into another geo node but that did not seem to help. How can I get animated alembic geo into dops?

Thanks!
James

Well I figured it out. Did not see the check boxes on the collision obj node in dops. Nethermind!

Read my explanations on this Topic and download my last project on it ,Maybe it can help you :wink:

Here a very simple project about using Alembic in the DOP ! :?

Hey,

Houdini noob question here….

I have an animation using vellum inside a dopnet. It consists of a shoe colliding with some balls. I can export it as a .abc file fine but I want the shoe and balls to come in as separate geo.

Any ideas?

Thanks
