Add import to Houdini Vertex Animations

[franckaubry]

Please add the ability to import Houdini Vertex Animations. This opens up an incredibly bag of tricks for real-time use.

The Houdini tool and some examples are outlined in this video:

For examples, the Unity shaders can be found here:

as i said, please make an example. i created an exr loading op already waiting for examples

Several examples from Houdini shared with @pandrr (via Dropbox folder)
Please let me know if you need any other examples or further tests with simple data. I am happy to assist further :)

thanks for the examples!
sadly i did not find good sources of documentation and its very confusing/complex multiple file formats consisting of multiple files, and differences between unity/ue exports.

so i guess ill skip this for now...

also the blender approach from seaflap looks great, so i would recommend trying that.

Ok. I am reaching out to the Side FX Labs developers to see if they would be willing to answer some questions.

If I get in touch with the developers from SideFX Labs, are you interested in having a talk with them at all you think?
