VaraVision is a Houdini viewport measurement tool for artists who need their dimensions to stay with the scene and appear in the final render.

Measure distances and angles directly in Houdini, save them with your scene, and create crisp measurement overlays for client presentations, reviews, and delivery.

Key Features & Compatibility

Houdini 20.5 & 21: Built for SideFX Houdini on Windows, macOS, and Linux.

SOPs & Solaris: Use the same native viewer-state workflow in the classic SOPs viewport and Solaris/Stage, even during Karma/Redshift interactive rendering.

Fully Local: No account required and no data sent online. Measurements are saved directly in your scene file.

One-Time Purchase: No subscription required.

The VaraVision Toolset

  1. Accurate Distance & Angle Measurement

Create point-to-point distances and three-point angles with live preview, smart snapping, and axis lock.

Highlights include:

Distance Measurements: Click points in the viewport to create clear, live distance annotations.

Angle Measurements: Create three-point angle measurements for precise spatial checks.

Smart Snapping & Axis Lock: Keep measurements accurate and easy to place.

  1. Saved, Editable Scene Annotations

Unlike a quick ruler check, VaraVision keeps the measurements you need to show and deliver.

Saved with the Scene: Reopen your Houdini file and your numbered measurements are still there.

Editable Endpoints: Drag points, rename lines, remove individual measurements, or clear the entire set.

Scene-Based Units: Work in your existing scene units and add the suffix you need, such as Meters or Inches.

  1. Presentation-Ready Render Overlays

Turn viewport measurements into a clean final-image overlay.

Render-Camera Projection: Project annotations from the render camera so the overlay aligns with your beauty render.

Crisp at Any Resolution: Labels stay sharp and line widths remain consistent.

Renderer Independent: Use the beauty pass from the render engine already in your pipeline or over any interactive viewport.

Compositing Ready: Create a transparent measurement overlay for easy compositing.

  1. Full Visual Control

Style your annotations to fit the project and presentation.

Custom Colours & Labels: Control colours, label size, label offset, and decimal precision.

Line & Marker Settings: Adjust line width, marker size, and ruler ticks.

Clear Communication: Present real-world dimensions clearly to clients, supervisors, and collaborators.

  1. Export & Installation

CSV Export: Export every saved distance and angle for documentation or handoff.

Simple Installation: Install from the included Houdini file or use the one-line Python installer.

Included Guide: A PDF guide is included to help you get started quickly.

Thanks!
