Open HDA in C4D
- Now we're going to bring our Houdini Digital Asset into Cinema 4D, so we can run a dynamic simulation using the Houdini engine. So we've got a scene, we just have a sphere and this cube array that we're going to use as our geometry. So I'm going to get on my pipeline menu, I'm going to choose Houdini engine load asset. I'm going to bring in my Simulation O1HDI that's in our O4 Houdini Ch. 4 HDI folder. Alright, so once that loads you can see our test scene here that we had built in Houdini. And I'm just going to grab my sphere 01, turn its visibility off and the cube array and turn its visibility off. Now let's take a work and just test to make sure everything's working in here. So I'll grab my simulation, go under its asset tab and close this up. And you can see that here are the parameters that we had created in Houdini. Alright, let me just play this back. You can see that we have our bullet based dynamic simulation running via the Houdini engine in Cinema 4D. And you can see…
