Thanks to the hardcoded license (not a fault of SideFX) this was impossible (license expired). Over this last weekend, I had freed up the time to work on our multi-scale project in Houdini using the RC plugin. Should.) Which would be “yeehaw” big time :-) Marc
I will have a go and see if this works as advertised - if so, I can only hope that the SDK exposes the command as well, so it *should* be straight forward to integrate control port import into the plugin (as the current help file says, importing control point data is possible through the UI as well, so it should work.
an XML per image, I haven't tested yet), it should be possible to import (through filesystem, but EVERYTHING is filesystem in RC anyway) control point data even from Houdini. According to this comment on CR's support forum you can both import 3d CPD and 2d (image) measurement data. Control points clearly are one of those points - since if a model is broken up into components (due to poor capturing for example) you NEED to set control points to “glue it together”. We talked about a few issues that I consider important for any pipeline-integration of RC through Houdini. I hope it is OK to start an open discussion about the open beta. Hi, Luiz, third attempt - the forum loves to kick me out while I am typing a comment.
