Any tip to create Renderman Curves from Houdini?

I tried the Geometry ROP but it is empty …

Hi Javi.
If you want to render primitives as Ricurves you don't need to export geometry, this is the goal of Geometry ROP.
You have to use a Primitive SOP or a Render POP, depending the context you are working on, to change the primitive render type, change this type to tube or line, then when you render in RenderMan the primitives will be threaded as RiCurves.
You can control the RiCurves per primitive using the primitive attributes:
ri_curveinterpolation
ri_curvebasis
ri_curvestep
Put ricurve in the Help Browser to know more.
There are other possibilities but I think that this is the most standar methos to render RiCurve primitives.
Un saludo
