This is going to let the dressing artists rapidly add assets to the graph (all correctly setup without human error) from our asset import tools.

238 followers · 744 posts · Server fosstodon.orgIs there a blazingly fast cli mesh processor out there? Think ffmpeg for #3D data?
My use case, generate decimated (low res mesh, tri's are fine) geo from an input #alembic
Has anyone worked with #OpenMesh at all? Is it worth exploring?
#Maya via #Mayapy is painfully slow. I could also consid #blender via it pypi package, or #houdini but will need to test those.

Its much easier in Maya 2023 and Bifrost 2.6+ but here we are!

float cam_hieght = chf("camera_hieght");
but does anyone know if I can Set a value, so basically the reverse?
I'm trying something, but it might not work ;)

Okay I have found a way to rename prims and the primpath as required... Its a brute force technique but thankfully having this working opens up so many options for our workflow.
Sadly this due to #Blender not allowing objects at different locations in the scene graph tree to have identical names, like #maya and #houdini
