Is Alembic exporting supported with FS_WriterHelper? Jan. 15, 2016, 8:40 p.m.
I've got an FS_ReaderHelper, FS_WriterHelper and FS_InfoHelper set of plugins working great with reading and writing bgeo files through the File SOP and the ROP_Output_Driver. And I can also read Alembic files in through the Alembic SOP the same way.
For some reason I'm having problems getting the ROP_Alembic_Output to do anything with the FS_WriterHelper plugin. It seems to query the FS_InfoHelper::canHandle() function, but doesn't seem to do anything after that. Is writing to Alembic supported with those FS plugins, and is anyone doing this right now?
I'm using Houdini 14, and using a URI-style string to specify the file rather than an NFS-style path.
Also, occasionally I can get the ROP_Alembic_Output into a state where it queries the FS_ReaderHelper (not the Writer!), but it's not very consistent.
