Cant seem to get this to work between Modo and Houdini

[cgpetey]

From Houdini to Modo it works great. The other way around it doesnt work. When I hit paste in Houdini I get a 'geoIn' node. Nothing in the viewport. When I dive into the geoIn node I get a Python Import Script... this:

encoding: utf-8

import tempfile, os, random, sys, re

filePath = tempfile.gettempdir() + os.sep + ".." + os.sep + "ODVertexData.txt" #this is the temp file where everything is stored

print filePath

f = open(filePath, "r") lines = f.readlines() f.close()

node = hou.pwd() geo = hou.pwd().geometry()

vertline = []; polyline = []; uvMaps = []; morphMaps = []; weightMaps = []

Parse File to see what Data we have

count = 0 for line in lines: if line.startswith("VERTICES:"): vertline.append([int(line.strip().split(":")[1].strip()), count]) if line.startswith("POLYGONS:"): polyline.append([int(line.strip().split(":")[1].strip()), count]) if line.startswith("UV:"): uvMaps.append([line.strip().split(":")[1:], count]) # changed this to add the # of uv coordinates into the mix if line.startswith("MORPH"): morphMaps.append([line.split(":")[1].strip(), count]) if line.startswith("WEIGHT"): weightMaps.append([line.split(":")[1].strip(), count]) count += 1

Create Points

points = [] for verts in vertline: for i in xrange(verts[1] + 1, verts[1] + verts[0] + 1): x = lines[i].split(" ") pos = [ float(x[0]), float(x[1]), float(x[2].strip()) ] pt = geo.createPoint() pt.setPosition(pos) points.append(pt)

create Polygons

surfList = []; pVertex = [] for polygons in polyline: for i in xrange(polygons[1] + 1, polygons[1] + polygons[0] + 1): pts = [] surf = (lines[i].split(";;")[1]).strip() surf = re.sub(r"[^a-zA-Z0-9]", lambda m: "_{:02x}".format(ord(m.group())), surf) polytype = (lines[i].split(";;")[2]).strip() for x in (lines[i].split(";;")[0]).strip().split(","):

        pts.append(int(x.strip()))
    pts.insert(len(pts), pts[0])
    pts.pop(0)
    pts = reversed(pts)
    poly = geo.createPolygon()#makes the Poly
    for p in pts:
        pVertex.append(poly.addVertex(points[p]))#adds vertex to position Poly
    if surf not in surfList:
        attrGroup = geo.addAttrib(hou.attribType.Prim, surf, 0)#Creates surface attributes
        surfList.append(surf)
    poly.setAttribValue(surf, (1))#gives it the surface name

Create Weights

for weightMap in weightMaps: weightMap[0] = re.sub(r"[^a-zA-Z0-9]", lambda m: "_{:02x}".format(ord(m.group())), weightMap[0]) geo.addAttrib(hou.attribType.Point, weightMap[0], 0.0) count = 0 for point in points: if lines[weightMap[1]+1+count].strip() != "None": point.setAttribValue(weightMap[0], float(lines[weightMap[1]+1+count].strip()))#set point weight count += 1

create UVs

for uvMap in uvMaps: attrUV = geo.addAttrib(hou.attribType.Vertex, "uv", (0.0, 0.0, 0.0))#Creates UV attributre count = 0 for i in range(int(uvMap[0][1])): line = lines[uvMap[1]+1+count] split = line.split(":") if len(split) > 3: #check the format to see if it has a point and poly classifier, determining with that, whether the uv is discontinuous or continuous pVertex[count].setAttribValue(attrUV, (float(split[0].split(" ")[0]), float(split[0].split(" ")[1]), 1.0))#Adds UV attribute info else: pVertex[count].setAttribValue(attrUV, (float(split[0].split(" ")[0]), float(split[0].split(" ")[1]), 1.0))#Adds UV attribute info count +=1

But No Geo anywhere in the viewport. What am I doing wrong?
