Usages

  1. takeadd [-i] [-v] [-c] [-p parent_take] [name]

Options

-i

Insert the take between the parent and its child takes (becomes the new parent of the child takes).

-v

Verbose: print the name of the take created.

-c

Change to the new take after it is created.

-p parent_take

The parent of the new take. If you do not specify a parent, the new take becomes a child of the current take.

name

Short name for the take. This name cannot contain spaces. If you do not specify a name, Houdini will create a generic name from the default basename and a number (for example, “take5”). You can rename a take, or set the default basename, with the takename command.

Examples

takeadd -c -i -p hip
Inserts a take between the hip take and all its children, and automatically switch to that take.
