LMI Houdini IO Suite

The IO suite is made to help out with flow tasks like caching and exporting files.
This category of tools is still in development.

Functionally aligned with the Octane Shot Manager, this node brings the same robust splitting logic to Alembic exports. It was developed as a core component of our Octane-centered pipeline, where geometry often needs to be updated independently of shading.

The Alembic Splitter enables efficient geometry-only updates without re-exporting lookdev, preserving existing library shaders. It follows the same logical structure as the Shot Manager, making your pipeline consistent, modular, and easier to maintain.

Changelog:

Version 1.0.1-150925
- Added 'Motion Subsample' section if the user wants to control/lock interpolation and ensure correct motion blur in Octane. Use cases: Fast motion, Helicopter rotor, Dragonfly wings etc.
- Savepath is no longer forcing '/ABCs/' project subfolder for exports. Instead, rootfolder is set to '$HIP/alembics' which allows more flexibility for the user.


Current version:
1.0.1-150925 (Last tested on H20.5.613)

Installation:
Drag and Drop the contents of the archive into your Packages location. Restart Houdini if required. You can safely overwrite existing 'HDAs_LebrovMotionImagery.json'
