I'm trying to export my kinect2 pointcloud from vvvv to Houdini with 2 Point Attributes: Cd 3flt (Vec) , P 3flt (Pos).

So I recorded those 2 point attributes to dds texture sequences, how do I recreate the point cloud in Houdini now?

drop a COP2 sop into a geometry. Set it to points mode.
Each generated point refers to a pixel on the image plane.

Inside the cop net, load your dds images and unpack the values where necessary and output 2 planes named P and N.

The cop will write P and N to the generated point attributes.

Nicolas, thank you for the answer!

load your dds

Well, it looks like Houdini doesn't support dds

Should be simple enough to convert them.
Any reason you are using .dds textures? I imagine S3 texture compression would be horrible for storing positional data. Can you output to another format with a higher bit depth? preferably float16 or 32?

I guess that’s my options:

I ended up converting DDS textures to exr with adobe AE. For this I needed to download DDS adobe plugin. Everything works fine now.
