Hi yurid9,

I've just checked your attached hip file and think that your object visibility should look like the first screenshot.

Inside your exploding ball, make sure to make the last node the visible one (screenshot2)

For export i would use rbd to fbx node (screenshot3).


Should work then.


Best regards,

Alright I figured out what was happening. I was installing the HDA provided by Luiz by going to Assets tab on the top and clicking on Install Asset Library. What I tried doing today was to copy and paste the HDA inside houdini\otls and it works

Cheers.

Didn't know object visibility does anything other than show/hide the object. Gonna go home and take a look at the things you pointed out. Thanks a lot for your help

Cheers.

I have come to the conclusion that I don't know what I am doing wrong. Basically, I am following this video {https://vimeo.com/200486713 [vimeo.com]} to create a simple fracture sim and then want to export the RBD sim as a vertex texture for UE4. For some reason, the exported FBX is only 8kb and I can't import it into Unreal. Also, the baked textures look wrong too.

Downloaded the GDC2017_VertexAnimationTextures.zip and copied the nodes exactly and it still fails to export properly. If I open up the file provided by Luiz, I can export it fine there.

It would be really helpful if someone could look at my file and tell me what am I doing wrong.

Also, vertext_aniamtion_textures in H16 is a subnetwork and looks different than the videos. I can import the node from provided by Luiz but it still doesnt work.

Cheers.
