Hi all

I'm supernew to Solaris with some Houdini knowledge, and I'm looking for a feasible way to export a pointcloud from a flattened USD scene that has a layout of a bunch of geo prims/components. My end goal is to instance the components instead. Each point for example could store component attributes name, rotateXYZ, scale, translate, etc. I suppose this is easily done with VEX? Find all component xforms and create a point per and copy to attributes? I would like to export the pointcloud as bgeo or Alembic too. Or even better.. if there is a way to push this back into SOPs?

All the things I've never done before and would appreciate a leg up with. Pointers would be great. Big ask, I know, but keen to learn.

Cheers!
