I am revisiting some old alembic code I wrote a while back and noticed that OPoints is only writing out position and ids but not other custom attributes

[Nicholas Yue]

I loaded it in houdini to verify and only see IDs

Any idea ?

void single_time_sample(Alembic::Util::uint32_t i_num_points, const std::string& i_abc_fileName)

{

    Alembic::Abc::OArchive archive(Alembic::Abc::CreateArchiveWithInfo(Alembic::AbcCoreHDF5::WriteArchive(),

                                                                       std::string(i_abc_fileName.c_str()),

                                                                       std::string("Procedural Insight Pty. Ltd."),

                                                                       std::string("Single Sample Random points"),

                                                                       Alembic::Abc::ErrorHandler::kThrowPolicy));

    Alembic::AbcGeom::OObject iParent( archive, Alembic::AbcGeom::kTop );

    Alembic::AbcGeom::OXform xform = addXform(iParent,"Xform");

    // Frames per second

    Alembic::AbcCoreAbstract::chrono_t iFps = 24.0;

    // Create the time sampling type.

    Alembic::AbcCoreAbstract::TimeSampling ts(iFps, 0.0);

    Alembic::Util::uint32_t tsidx = iParent.getArchive().addTimeSampling(ts);

    // Create our object.

    Alembic::AbcGeom::OPoints partsOut( xform, "simpleParticles", tsidx );

    std::cout << "Created Simple Particles" << std::endl;

    // Add attributes

    Alembic::AbcGeom::OPointsSchema &pSchema = partsOut.getSchema();

    Alembic::AbcGeom::MetaData mdata;

    SetGeometryScope( mdata, Alembic::AbcGeom::kVaryingScope );

    Alembic::AbcGeom::OV3fArrayProperty velOut( pSchema, "velocity", mdata, tsidx );

    Alembic::AbcGeom::OC3fArrayProperty rgbOut( pSchema, "Cs", tsidx );

    Alembic::AbcGeom::OFloatArrayProperty ageOut( pSchema, "age", tsidx );

    // Seconds per frame

    Alembic::AbcCoreAbstract::chrono_t iSpf = 1.0 / iFps;

// Create a specific type of random number generator

const unsigned seed = 0u;

base_generator_type generator(seed);

// Define a uniform random number distribution which produces "double"

// values between 0 and 1 (0 inclusive, 1 exclusive).

boost::uniform_01<> uniform_distribution;

boost::variate_generator<base_generator_type&, boost::uniform_01<> > uniform_random_number_generator(generator, uniform_distribution);

    // const size_t num_particles = 16;

    std::vector<Alembic::Util::uint64_t> m_id(i_num_points);

    std::vector<Alembic::AbcGeom::V3f> m_position(i_num_points);

    std::vector<Alembic::AbcGeom::C3f> m_color(i_num_points);

    std::vector<Alembic::AbcGeom::V3f> m_velocity(i_num_points);

    std::vector<Alembic::Util::float32_t> m_age(i_num_points);

    for (size_t index=0;index<i_num_points;index++)

    {

        m_id[index] = index;

        m_position[index] = Alembic::AbcGeom::V3f(uniform_random_number_generator() - 0.5, uniform_random_number_generator() - 0.5, uniform_random_number_generator() - 0.5); //  Subtract 0.5 to center it

        m_color[index] = Alembic::AbcGeom::C3f(uniform_random_number_generator(), uniform_random_number_generator(), uniform_random_number_generator());

        m_velocity[index] = Alembic::AbcGeom::V3f(uniform_random_number_generator(), uniform_random_number_generator(), uniform_random_number_generator());

        m_age[index] = uniform_random_number_generator();

    }

    // First, write the sample.

    Alembic::AbcGeom::V3fArraySample position_data ( m_position );

    Alembic::AbcGeom::UInt64ArraySample id_data ( m_id );

    Alembic::AbcGeom::OPointsSchema::Sample psamp(position_data,

            id_data);

    pSchema.set( psamp );

    velOut.set( Alembic::AbcGeom::V3fArraySample( m_velocity ) );

    rgbOut.set( Alembic::AbcGeom::C3fArraySample( m_color ) );

    ageOut.set( Alembic::AbcGeom::FloatArraySample( m_age ) );

}

Ah. I think I should be using ArbGeomParams

    void AddPointAttributes(Alembic::AbcGeom::OPointsSchema &pSchema,uint32_t tsidx)

    {

        Alembic::AbcGeom::MetaData mdata;

        Alembic::AbcGeom::SetGeometryScope(mdata, _geometry_parameter_scope);

        Alembic::AbcGeom::OCompoundProperty arbParams = pSchema.getArbGeomParams();

        bool is_param_indexed = false;

        color_geom_param.reset(new Alembic::AbcGeom::OV3fGeomParam ( arbParams, "Cd", is_param_indexed, _geometry_parameter_scope, 1, tsidx ));

        normal_geom_param.reset(new Alembic::AbcGeom::OV3fGeomParam ( arbParams, "N", is_param_indexed, _geometry_parameter_scope, 1, tsidx ));

        density_geom_param.reset(new Alembic::AbcGeom::OFloatGeomParam ( arbParams, "density", is_param_indexed, _geometry_parameter_scope, 1, tsidx ));

    }
