Exports compatible with TorqueX?

by Matt Nicholson · in Artist Corner · 06/23/2008 (11:40 pm) · 3 replies

I'd like to know if Houdini TGE/TGB exports are compatible with TorqueX. I'm considering getting TorqueX 3D game builder and Apprentice HD together, if the two are compatible then that would seal the deal.

    Ooo - I'd be interested in whether they work with TorqueX as well - I already have TorqueX and I'd assumed the exporter would work with it. Am I correct? I was thinking of purchasing Houdini Apprentice HD in the next few days...

    Cheers,

    Houdini HD produces DTS and DSQ fileTypes....these two formats have NOT changed, as far as I know.... Houdini can produce a DTS shape that loads the SDK-Max produced DSQ's.....so it's capable of some 'majik'!

    I see no reason these binaries would not work in these other GG platforms; the caveat being, I do not hold a license for these other platforms, so I do not know their DTS/DSQ limitations...

    Good luck!

    I could possible supply you with an example for testing, since the demo of HD will not 'Render/export' for TGE, only licensed copies?! I helped test the pipeline during development of the Torque ROP for Houdini...

    In case anyone else was wondering what the outcome of this was...

    I bought Houdini HD, and have successfully exported a couple of objects out of it and into TorqueX.
