Hi there!
Do you guys have an idea how to preserve the order of my Material ID's when I export my Alembic file back to 3ds Max?
I need this for a building destruction simulation later on. I'm quite new in Houdini.
In Max I created a building and applied a multi sub object material with 20 materials and named them _1, _2, _3, _4 … (According to this video: https://vimeo.com/113366813). [vimeo.com]
Then I imported the Alembic file in Houdini and unpacked it. The object consists of the exact amount of prim groups that I had previously created as materials. And the prim groups are correctly applied and named.
But then it comes: when I export my model back to max, the face IDs are basically correct but the id numbers are totally messed up when I apply the previous multi sub object material.
How can I tell Houdini to export the face ID's in the correct order or what do I need to do? Is there another better workflow maybe?
Thank you very much in advance!
