Network Rename multiple nodes at once

Houdini lets you rename multiple nodes according to a pattern. This is very useful, for example, if you forget to rename character nodes as you mirror them , and you want to change the prefix L_ on all the mirrored nodes to R_.

  1. In the network editor, select the nodes you want to rename.

  2. Press and choose Rename.

  3. A dialog appears allowing you to do any combination of:

    For example, to change names from starting with L_ to start with R_, set the New Prefix to R_, turn on Remove old prefix and set Up to to _ (underscore).
Tip

To rename a single node, click the name next to the node’s tile in the network editor.

Note

Houdini uses the $HH/scripts/fixnodename.cmd script to do prefix and suffix substitution. See the useful scripts page.
