» Startup, a custom Houdini environment starting tool «

GITLAB Repository:

https://gitlab.com/e_noni/ns_startup_server (chat server beta)

Note: this tool is closely based on my way of working, naming stuff and organizing my files/apps. You need some knowledge of Python to adapt it to your own workflow. (Windows focused)

Requirements:

Python 2.7
PyQT4
PyAudio

This python script was created to start Houdini easily with the right Workgroups/Renderers etc. without always changing the local .env file. The preset system can be used globally, to make them accessible to other clients/workstations.

I implemented a preset “Check” to make sure the Workgroups/Renderers are physically existing.
If not, you will get a warning, so you can reinstall the missing apps.

Also onboard, a little chat client (Beta) for multiple users.

Create Package .json files or start Houdini directly with the right Environment-Variables you need.
