Houdini: SOP import

When to use SOP

Use Object / SOP when you are working in classic object / SOP networks (Mantra, most SOP pipelines).

How to import

1. Set import target to SOP in Settings or the panel
2. Select an asset
3. Import, or drag onto a network / viewport that targets SOP

What you get

• Geometry in the Object / SOP context
• Materials built and assigned on the imported geo
• Multi-material assets get per-slot materials when the file provides multiple slots

Tips

• Prefer importing into a new geo container unless you intentionally import into the selected geo
• After import, check the geo’s material assignment in the parameters
