Guest xionmark Posted October 22, 2009 Share Posted October 22, 2009 You are missing: * The mantra procedural config file: VRAYprocedural Place this file (or append the contents to your current VRAYprocedural file) in a location searched by Houdini: $HOME/houdini9.5/ $JOB/houdini9.5/ Read the README.txt file.

bing Posted October 26, 2009 Share Posted October 26, 2009 The tool is really cool. But how to create the VM_GEO_clusterThis.otl? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bing Posted October 26, 2009 Share Posted October 26, 2009 hey, I think I need to make my question more clear. I want to know if I compiled the .C code and got a dso . How could I create an otl with the dso? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest xionmark Posted October 26, 2009 Share Posted October 26, 2009 hey, I think I need to make my question more clear. I want to know if I compiled the .C code and got a dso . How could I create an otl with the dso? In the case of this project (a mantra procedural), the OTL is really only used for the user interface, the parameters from the OTL's GUI are passed to mantra, which then calls the DSO. Thus the actual .so file isn't part of the .otl file. In the case of let's say a SOP, the DSO contains it's definition of the GUI, is loaded by Houdini at startup and is available to the user in an interactive session. So, there's no OTL file involved at all. There's been talk recently that it might be smarter (for numerous reasons not outlined here) to have an OTL that calls an external DSO perhaps through a Python "binding".

bing Posted October 27, 2009 Share Posted October 27, 2009 sorry, i am still not clear about the detail to create the otl. I check the set of the otl trying to find something unusual. I noticed that in the tools/script tab there are some python code: import shoptoolutils shoptoolutils.genericTool(kawrgs,'$HDA_NAME'). I didn't find out what "shoptoolutils" is in the help file. Can you give some idea? Actually i just want to know after I got these kinds of dso files ,how can i use it in houdini. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Perhaps you should learn more about Houdini and OTLs first. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bing Posted October 28, 2009 Share Posted October 28, 2009 sorry for the poor language. I searched the help file. I have found the answer . thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
