Hi..I am trying to export out an object sequence from a simple box that was made fluid, I got to the point of exporting out the current frame object correctly but how can I save it out as an object sequence?
when I am exporting, I am inside the fluid object and at the dopimport level.
Sorry but I couldn´t find any decent help topic about it.
Ohh..yeah! I´m basicly trying to get obj format sequence in to Lightwave.
thanks!

Heya Phamarus,
I'm going to assume that you are attempting to export a polygon dataset, as i'm uncertain that other things that Houdini CAN write, are able to be correctly contained inside an obj file.
At the end of your sop chain, append a rop_geometry (it is labeled "ROP Output Driver) sop (which was built for this task).
Enter your frame ranges, etc, and for the file name specify myexportfile.$F.obj. $F in houdini terms means ‘the currect frame’.
If you need padded filenames use $F4 instead (which will create a sequence which contains values padded to a length of 4 (ie: 0003).

ps: one more caveat – this may not work if you are on apprentice.

Thanks guys for trying to help, It didn´t do me any good thou..I guess I have to spend time on more basic understanding of houdini first, still a very newbie on houdini.
Thats good to know about motion blur and object sequence colin.
I would so much like to se how the fluid would look with Lightwaves dielectric materials thou.
so keyframe..where do I find the sop? I cant find any label for it, is it located in the autodopnetwork? and how do I append the rop geometry? is there a rmb list where this option is located(append).
