Can we import baked simulations into Nuke ?

#1

So I’m moving up in Nuke from After Effects but found the same problem here.

I baked a simple wall demolishing sequence in 3ds max using RayFire but don’t exactly know how to import this sequence into Nuke.

I tried export the simulation in .obj from 3ds max and then importing this .obj file into Nuke but I just got a static instance of the simulation and not the entire sequence.
:confused:
Is it even possible to import a baked sequence in Nuke or its somewhat like videocopilot’s Element 3d for After Effects.

yes, you can load .obj sequences in nuke, but you also have to export a sequences from your 3d app. after you export from your 3d software you should have a bunch of objs files with a name like: wall.0001.obj, wall.0002.obj, …

but the current “standard” for tranfering geometry between apps is alembic, which can nuke also read

On the readGeo node in Nuke make sure you use hashes in the file read path… ie… object.####.obj rather than object.0001.obj.

Alright it worked,
I downloaded a script from here.

Now the only thing we didnt have is time… exporting 4000 fragments in a 300 frames duration… hell lot of a patience.
Plus, these exports objects were deprived of their textures in the process. Have to re-texture them again.

Thanks pingking and earlyworm.
