Howdy Softies!
A new version of emTopolizer2 is available containing a new set of tools to read, write and convert particle cache file formats.
With all the "migrate to other 3D apps" threads I thought it might be nice if we could read and write many different particle file formats. I believe it can be a quite helpful thing for those who want to gradually migrate to another app during the next years to be able to exchange particle files between Softimage and the other app.
Surplus it should also be a good addition those those faithful and wise souls who will stick with Softimage for as long as possible, especially when working with Softimage in a mixed pipeline, i.e. "Want some particle cache files? No problem! What format do you want them in?" ;)
Supported file formats are:
".bgeo" (Houdini, prior to version 12).
".bhclassic" (Houdini, prior to version 12).
".geo" (Houdini, prior to version 12).
".hclassic" (Houdini, prior to version 12).
".pdb32" (Maya).
".pdb64" (Maya).
".mc" (3ds max / Maya).
".ptc" (RenderMan).
".bin" (RealFlow particle format).
".pts" (3D Points File).
".ptf" (Maya).
".itbl" (Houdini).
".atbl" (Houdini).
Cheers!

Hey Eric, is there any plan for read VDB volumes in the future?
Thanx!

Yes, there is. In fact the beta of emFluid5 already can read/write VDB volume files.is there any plan for read VDB volumes in the future?
The alpha version of emFluid5 should be released this summer, at last!
