openVDB points #46

Closed wilsimar closed 1 year ago

wilsimar commented 1 year ago

Some plans to support openVDB points ? For particles simulations caches.. Openvdb points use far less memory that alembic point cloud and unreal still can't read alembic point cloud.

Houdini Niagara plugin supports point clouds and other plugins do too so I didn't bother supporting it myself. https://www.sidefx.com/docs/unreal/_niagara.html#InitCache https://github.com/sideeffects/HoudiniNiagara/releases

But there's probably a few advantages of using OpenVDB points ? Feel free to give me more info or references / links.

I could get convinced to do it, but it's going to be very low priority on my side sadly, I already don't have time to do what I need to do.
