My problems come when I am importing skeleton from 3ds max, where whitespace are allowed in name convention for example (bone L hand) so modifying animation and export back Houdini adds “_” instead of “ ” and bone name become (bone_L_hand) importing in 3ds max skeleton with different name required renaming, is there a solution where Houdini keep name of bones as they come from 3ds max? I noticed that Houdini don't like whitespace in strings
Thanks in advance.
Import export FBX from Max to Houdini and back

Moin,
I don't think that you can get around Houdini's dislike of white spaces (or any 127-bit-ASCI-exceeding characters for that matter).
What I would probably do is use AD's FBX converter tool to write an ASCII version of the FBX before importing it into Houdini, then use the same to convert a binary FBX back to ASCII, do a rename of the bones and convert back to binary. You can do that from inside Houdini.
