Does any one know what to set on my HOUDINI_PATH environment variable so that I can change the presets folder location? Lets say I have my presets folder in D:/stuff/presets, what would be the correct path? I've tried adding HOUDINI_PATH = "D:/stuff/presets";$HOUDINI_PATH;& in the houdini.env file, but it is ignored. I've seen a few topics about this subject but nothing conclusive yet...

Hi guys, I'm using Houdini indie 18.0.460 with Redshift 3.2 When I add the env. variables for redshift in the houdini.env, the mops library and the sidefx labs automatically stop working. Anyone add this problem? Thanks

Afternoon all, I've come across this a problem a few times and never managed to get my head around it properly. Hopefully someone can give me a better understanding of how to do this. Ideally I'd like to have a collection/package of otls, scripts/modules, icons etc that equate to a toolset. I would like to be able to keep these separated from the houdini install and user prefs and just be able to 'plug them in' to houdini - ideally only changing a line or two in the houdini.env file. If I put all the bits and bobs in the correct locations in 'C:/users/garf/MyDocuments/houdini16.0' then it all works fine - it picks up the modules, connects the icons etc 'C:/Users/garf/Documents/houdini16.0/python2.7libs' 'C:/Users/garf/Documents/houdini16.0/config/Icons' 'C:/Users/garf/Documents/houdini16.0/shelves' However I want these to be in a separate package somewhere like this: 'C:/users/garf/Documents/MyExtraToolSet/houdini16.0/python2.7libs' 'C:/users/garf/Documents/MyExtraToolSet/houdini16.0/config/Icons' 'C:/users/garf/Documents/MyExtraToolSet/houdini16.0/shelves' in addition I've tried changing my HOUDINI_USER_PREF_DIR variable with the houdini.env file HOUDINI_USER_PREF_DIR=C:/users/garf/Documents/MyExtraToolSet/houdini__HVER__ but when I hconfig HOUDINI_USER_PREF_DIR in the shell, it still says 'C:/Users/garf/Documents/houdini16.0/' and nothing links up Any pointers appreciated. Cheers

It would be great to have a centralised official document on setting up Houdini in a production pipeline.. I am currently setting HOUDINI_PATH in houdini.env so that the whole studio can have access to OTLs, prefs, presets, toolbars etc Is it bad practice to append to HOUDINI_PATH? (some posts seem to suggest so..) I am using windows and I have mimicked the folder structure that is in My Documents\houdini##.# folder. I do have access otls that are stored within the otls folder however I can't seem to get the preferences working. My houdini.env is currently: HVER = 16 HOUDINI_PATH = S:/3D_globalSettings/houdini/$HVER;& I've added a hchannel.pref.nosave to the specified folder and i'm trying to set the start and end frame, i.e.: pref.frame_end := 1201; pref.frame_start := 1001; Is this the best approach or should I use hou.putenv in a 123.py for example?
