I'm trying to import shapefiles into Houdini to create scientific animation for a water policy scientific conference. I've managed to import just the geometry by converting the shapefiles into dxf, but this does not hold any of the descriptive attributes I will need for animation (specifically plant community names).

I've spent quite a bit of time looking online and have found a number of broken links /dead ends for different community members working on these projects, but nothing I could get working.

So I used the contact form on Gis4Design and got a response pretty much straight away! They have a bunch of stuff on Github including the shape file OTL.
