Hi! My name's Bernardo, 3d generalist. I am new here, yesterday I bought a one year license for houdini indie because I would like to use it for fluid sims together with blender. I have fiddled with houdini apprendice before a few times, but I consider myself ahoudini total beginner.
So... my problem is about importing-exporting alembics. I tried importing an alembic from blender to houdini and the file seems empty, although when I try to import the alembic in back in blender all seems fine.
I also created a simple fluid sim in houdini (I'll probably have more questions here later!) and I am now trying to export it in blender with alembic.
EDIT: I managed to export the fluid surface as alembic, but I am still having some trouble with the whitewater particles. To export the alembic it was enough to select the option "render frame range" in the ROP alembic output node
EDIT2: I also managed to export the white water. I was placing the alembic ROP output after the merge node in the white_water import network, but it had to be placed right after the "import_whitewater" node, the first one of the network
So really now I am just having troubles importing an alembic in houdini from blender... maybe I'll also figure that one out and update this post, but if anyone has some help to offer in the meantime, that'd be great!
