nahee Posted September 21, 2009 Share Posted September 21, 2009 Hi, Is there a way to have a running houdini instance rescan the $HOUDINI_OTLSCAN_PATH and import all new *.otl-s. At the moment I have to either import the new otls one by one or restart houdini? If this can't be done I'll probably end up with a python script that will do this but I'd rather use an already existing built-in method if one exists.

nas7ybuttler Posted September 21, 2009 Share Posted September 21, 2009 Try 'File->Refresh Asset Libraries'. I believe that should do what your looking for.

Wolfwood Posted September 26, 2009 Share Posted September 26, 2009 Since this is in the scripting thread I'll add that the hscript 'otrefresh' can be used instead of the UI. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes, I've tried that first (without reading the docs, ofcourse) so it didn't update the new otl files within $HOUDINI_OTLSCAN_PATH. To have that happen, you'll need to otrefresh -r Since there's no "REPLACED BY" mentioned, I guess there's no 'native python' command for this yet?
