» Startup, a custom Houdini environment starting tool «
GITLAB Repository:
https://gitlab.com/e_noni/ns_startup
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 manage this to get ready for your workflow. (Windows focused)
Requirements:
- Python 2.7
- PyQT4
- PyAudio
This python script was created to starting Houdini easily with the right Workgroups/Renderers etc. without changing always 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 user.
Create Package .json files or start Houdini direct with right Environment-Variables you need.
