H12_Where is "Create new VOP type"?

[thinkinmonkey]

Hello all,

I'm using Houdini 12.0.552 and I'm working in SHOP Network.

In H11 I can convert an INLINE op to VOP op selecting "Create new VOP type" from pop-up menu, but I cannot find it in H12.

Maybe SideFX changed workflow: does someone know how to do that?

Thanks in advance.

Isn't it the same thing as "Compile VEX Code to SHOP Type"?

Edit: I'm sorry, I was wrong... Just never use it this way before.

Edit2: Workaround in Houdini Help:

http://www.sidefx.com/docs/houdini12.0/assets/advanced_otl

vcc (the VEX compiler) has options for creating OTLs directly from .vfl files. They are described briefly in the vcc usage message.

vcc -m vops.otl shader.vfl

This creates a new VOP operator and puts it in vops.otl. This is exactly what Houdini does now when you choose “Create New VOP Type” from the RMB menu of a SHOP or VOPNET operator.

Edit3: ...But it doesn't work.

Hi nord3d,

no, I think it's not that.

Anyway I just solved: File -> New operator type -> vex builder type.

Cheers all.

Hi, thinkinmonkey, thank you for a tip.

Previously, I used only SOP and SHOP assets and had no experience with VEX Builder type. I mean, didn't know that VEX Builder is for create VOP nodes.
