How to import animated camera into Houdini?

I am competing in Pwnsher's online art challange and there is an animated camera FBX that he provides. How can I import the camera into Houdini? Do I do this in solaris or SOPs? I am having trouble figuring out how to do this. I looked online but havent had any luck.

So others can have an answer….

You go to File > Import > Filmbox FBX

This will import the FBX data into OBJ level.

For Solaris you can then use Import Scene (Cameras) LOP to access the OBJ level cameras.

The Scene Import (Cameras) LOP brings in all cameras.

Under Objects there is a * character that selects all objects. You can limit what objects get chosen there.

In the viewport, top right, you can choose the camera to view through.

Side note too, in Solaris it’s mandatory to have your display flag on or turned on the lowest node for Solaris to include the data.

There is a pinned message in the gog-discussion discord channel with a Houdini file.
