Hi there

I've downloaded a hip file example that I'm interested in looking at and it has two .vfl files that need to be added to the default vex path.

I'm on a mac right now but will be on a pc later on.

They are in a folder here /Users/nigelgardiner/Downloads/Example

So I edited the env file to include this line

HOUDINI_VEX_PATH = Users/nigelgardiner/Downloads/Example;&;

When I look at hconfig -a after opening houdini it has set the HOUDINI_VEX_PATH to the above

But when I open the example hip it says it's unable to include the vfl file.

Can someone please tell me where I'm going wrong, hopefully it's just syntax.

Oh and how would I do the same thing on a pc?


The example file can be found here on page 2, raymans quick hole fill demo for flip.

Hi
The easiest way is to go to your houdini preference folder and make a “vex” folder with an “include” folder inside. Place your vfl's in the include folder to make them accessible to your session.
