Re: importing 2d points into Soft from 3DE

hi, I have an attached ancient jscript I've written in 2012 which could import a rz2 file and created nulls per tracking point. no idea if it still works.. since I can't test it anymore... but if 3DE can export a .rz2 file it might work for you? rz2 format is originally from Matchmover and is

Re: OTish - Houdini meshes to Maya with motiondata?

Hi, last year on one project we actually used Redshift proxies to get the data across. I don't have the project in front of me (as it is already archived...) but I basically did a simple ( Redshift ) shading setup in Houdini on the objects I needed. then written out Redshift proxies. for static
