Re-sorting model vertices May 4, 2017, 1:04 p.m.

The attached example has a File SOP to read in an OBJ file named “input_file.obj”

Wow! Thank you so much for the lightning fast reply! I can't wait to try it out this morning!

Re-sorting model vertices May 3, 2017, 3:04 p.m.

Hey Forums! I am primarily a Cinema4D user in motion graphics. Years ago, a Houdini artist wrote a simple scene for me that would read an OBJ, then run it through a Sort SOP and save it out as another OBJ.

I remember the Sort node had options for what direction the vertices would be sorted. This is incredibly useful in motion graphics when I need to control the order of how polygons are constructed. Cinema 4D has no native tool like this.

I don't know the first thing about Houdini, so it's a really steep learning curve for me.

I'd like to ask a huge favor (and probably something very easy for you experts): Could you please write a scene like this for me to use?

If I recall correctly, it's a very simple 3-node scene (read>sort>write).

I'd be happy to donate some PayPal $ or Square Cash in your direction for such a helpful tool. (The company I'm currently working has Houdini 15 if there's a compatibility issue with scene projects.)
