Hi all,
I would like to present a SOP I have created to read a lightwave .lwo (object file)
It can transfer:
Multi layers,
All vertex maps (Uvs, Color, Weight, Morph, etc)
All groups (Part to PrimGroups, point selections to PointGroups)
All surface data, to be copy parmed to Houdini Materials

thanx axebeak
this sounds like it may be “the silver bullet”

I think I'm understanding, but let me be a little more explicit in what I am trying to achieve.

I would like to transfer geometry to the Unity Game Engine. i know I can use objs, but I would like to transfer 2 uv sets & vertex color via a network socket.

A requirement here is for the number of (unity) vertices (vector3) to match the number of uvs(Vector2).

I am getting a result, as this is the case with each polygon containing discreet vertices, however I end up with a lode of vertices and a unwelded mesh.

What I need to resolve is discontinuous uvs ie those vertices/points which will have more than one uv coord in order to generate extra verts in unity.

so i guess an “unweld along uv seams” is in order.

I suppose I could handle this on the unity side, but sending so much additional data through the socket really slows things down.
