Failing to load in an Alembic caches as geometry which gives the area listed above. We’re able to load in other caches. Understanding the nature of the error would help us debug further.
Steps to Reproduce
We’re having issues with bringing in Alembic caches directly from Houdini and getting the following error:
LogGeometryCacheAbcFile: Warning: Failed to load h205_output_v4.abc: Unknown load failure
LogNavigation: Warning: FNavigationOctree::AddNode: Empty bounds, ignoring GeometryCacheAbcFileComponent /Game/Main.Main:PersistentLevel.GeometryCacheAbcFileActor_0.GeometryCacheAbcFileComponent.
We’ve tried importing in 5.5.4 as well as a vanilla install of 5.6. The caches will load correctly in Maya and Blender.
Hi Matt,
Sorry for the delay, I just got this ticket.
The import fails for ripple.abc because the file says it has velocities but when the import tries to fetch them, it returns nothing and flags as a retrieval failure.
ripple_maya.abc imports successfully because it says there’s no velocities in the file so the import doesn’t try to read them.
I’ll log a task to make the error clearer and also allow the import even if the velocities are missing.
