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_.
-
In the network editor, select the nodes you want to rename.
-
Press
and choose Rename. -
A dialog appears allowing you to do any combination of:
For example, to change names from starting with
L_to start withR_, set the New Prefix toR_, turn on Remove old prefix and set Up to to_(underscore).
To rename a single node, click the name next to the node’s tile in the network editor.
Houdini uses the $HH/scripts/fixnodename.cmd script to do prefix and suffix substitution. See the useful scripts page.
