Hello,
i would like to do a per shot process based on a CSV file listing all shots and frame range of shots, where i merge all alembics of the shot, then process them (generate a particle sim from the geos or whatever), do a preview render,and finaly write out an Alembic or a bgeo sequence of the result (particle cache for example).

I managed to retreive and merge the alembics per shot with geometry import TOP, then use invoke TOP to process the result in SOP context. But i don't know how to write the result properly with the frame range i retrieved from the CSV per shot (@start, @end).
I tried putting the invoke node in a loop and use the @loopiter to override the “Evaluation Time” parameter but the Invoke node does not cook a t all.

I don't know what to do or test next.
Maybe there is a totaly different approach to achieve this.

I attached my project with the csv.

If you have any clue on this, please help
Thanks a lot.

Hello everyone,
i would like to do a per shot process (based on a CSV file listing all shots), where i want to render each shot with its Alembic camera and its Alembic animation.
The Alembic animation seams possible, but i don't know if it is possible to tell houdini to import a new camera in Alembic and render with it for each shot.
Does somebody know a solution, please?
The attached picture just shows where i start from.

Best regards

Hello,
i have the same issue here,
how did you get your log?
My Houdini does not raise any error when it launches, so i can't debug and know what python script is conflicting with it.

When i remove my Maya scripts from PYTHONPATH variable it solves the problem.
Cheers
