Performance Of Using Perl/python/csh Vs Hscript

Recommended Posts

Hello,

I'm wondering if there's a "noticeable" performance loss when using outside languages to interact with houdini?

I want to write a script to write out ifd sequences as that just takes a long time sitting there (interactively) waiting with complex scenes.

I wonder if it's better to just run a hscript .cmd file via the shell or use perl/python/csh and send hscript commands to houdini?

Any thoughts you have on the subject is much appreciated.

Cheers,

Rick

Hi Rick,

Have you tried the hrender command? Type hrender -h in a shell to get more info. Or you can write a csh script which will run hscript & spit out the ifd sequences. Search through the scripting section of the docs to get an example.

Cheers!
