Parameters

Import Path Prefix

By default this is set to $OS, so it takes the node's label as the name for the path. This is then used to name the root primitive, as shown in the Scene Graph.

Primitive Definition

Kind Authoring

By default, this is disabled, but can be used to restructure the imported primitive in the Scene Graph.

  • All geometry is one component
    • Treats the root prim and all nested elements as a single component.
  • Nested groups and components
    • Assigns the root prim as a group with nested elements set as groups and components.
  • Nested assembly, groups, and components
    • Sets the root prim as an assembly with a nested hierarchy of groups and components.

Solaris Workshop - Asset Prep for Solaris | Jeff Wagner | Houdini HIVE Worldwide

This workshop focuses on prepping geometry inside Houdini's SOP context so that it can be exported to USD with support for features such as variants. Similarities and differences between Houdini and USD primitives will be addressed along with importing all Houdini Primitive types and point/prim/vertex attributes in to the Solaris Market scene.
