Hi!

I did camera tracking of a footage in nuke and exported the resulting camera to .fbx. When I try to import it using a file sop, I get an error. I also tried to export it to Maya and re-export (.fbx and .abc) to Houdini. I still get the same error for the .fbx. When I import the .abc, I get no errors but it looks like it imported nothing.

Am I supposed to import in a the geo node or in a cam node?

I'm new to this. Any help is appreciated!

SOLVED!

To import the alembic camera, I needed to be at the top level in "geo" and create an Alembic Archive node. Then, I browse the .abc file and set choose the camera I want in the drop down menu for Object Path.
