Houdini 20.0 Shelf tools

Add Color shelf tool

Turns on the color fields of a smoke object.

Overview

This tool changes the necessary settings for a pyro or smoke simulation to enable coloring of smoke. In addition to modifying the smoke object, this tool also searches for Volume Source nodes in the network and adds color to the simulation through them. Finally, the SOP source is traced back to ensure that a color field is present and ready to be imported into the smoke simulation.
