Very nice work Ivan. Congrats. I like the idea of selectively load a child object, we'll add that too.
I'd like to point out again that our AtomReadGeo node which reads ABC, Houdini (B)GEO) and OBJ (we decided not to read FBX) does not check out a license, meaning you can just dload AK, plug & play! Happy Nuke Year :) Paolo ps - docs (not updated to 1.0) here: http://www.jupiter-jazz.com/docs/atomkraft/AtomReadGeo/index.html On Mon, Jan 2, 2012 at 3:13 AM, Michael Garrett <[email protected]> wrote: > Great!
