Houdini 13.0 Nodes

interface version 1

Reads an object’s world (or local) space transformations from an alembic file.

This is a simple variant of the original Alembic Xform, the main difference being that it can provide the world space transformations of an alembic object (so there’s no need to import the parent hierarchy).

Parameters

File Name

Name of the alembic file.

Object Path

Path of object within the alembic file.

Frame, FPS

Specifies the time sample to read from the alembic archive.

World Space

Get the world space transformation of the alembic object (i.e. no need to import the entire parent hierarchy).

Invert Transform

Invert the transformation.

Outputs

Read-only values, imported from the alembic data.

Constant Transform

Shows if the object’s transformation is constant or animated.

Inherits Parent Transform

Shows if the object inherits the transformations from its parent (in the alembic file).

Has Visibility Info

Indicates if the alembic file element has visibility information.

Visible

Indicates if the element should be visible on the current frame (according to the alembic file).

Constant Visibility

Whether or not the element has visibility animation stored in the file.
