Sublime Text

[Reza]

Hi folks!

I'm using Sublime Text for creating python tool.very nice and handy tool.

but the only problem that I have with it is Houdini Modules

Is there anyway to import hou from hython.exe module into Sublime?

Thanks a lot!!!

Tell sublime to build with hython using your own custom python build system. Create a new build system (Tools > Build System > New Build System). Set "cmd" to point to your current version of Houdini-- notice I'm using build 487:

{
"cmd": ["C:/Program Files/Side Effects Software/Houdini 12.5.487/bin/hython.exe", "$file"]
}
[/CODE]

Save as Hython.sublime-build and then in your python script tab where you are importing hou, go to Tools > Build System > Hython. Now when you hit Ctrl-B it should run no problemo.

You can create different build systems for different houdini/hython versions and switch between them easily.

If everything is working, you should be able to kick off a cache for a smoke sim scene from sublime with Ctrl-B using:

[CODE]
import hou
import time

HIP_FILE = 'C:/path/to/scene.hip'
CACHE_NODE = '/obj/import_smoke/import_smokefields'

print( 'Sim starting: %s' % time.strftime("%Y-%m-%d %H:%M:%S", time.gmtime()) )

# load scene
hou.hipFile.load(HIP_FILE)
# press cache button
hou.node(CACHE_NODE).parm('execute').pressButton()

print( 'Sim done: %s' % time.strftime("%Y-%m-%d %H:%M:%S", time.gmtime()) )
[/CODE]
