Enviro variables


Recommended Posts

Houdini uses environment variables in a Unix like way and if the environment variable is set before launching Houdini then it'll use it. See the documentation on it if you haven't already.

The short answer is yes, if you define PATHA variable as "/1" then any time you use $PATHA it'll get replaced with "/1" in the text. Beware using variables that look like $PATH because that's a critical system wide environment variable. Ideally it would be something not close at all to existing variable names to avoid any confusion.
