hey all
I'm trying to run houdini with 3delight or pixie .
3delight I got to render but I have problem with recognizing shaders .
I am under linux and use 3delight as renderer, following the instructions at

http://www.plastickitten.net/wordpress/tutorials/using-houdini-with-3delight/ [plastickitten.net]

but houdini always changes the .sl to .slo , even if the file is created by shaderdl (the shader complier for 3delight)
when I create shop from vop network , I cant preview the shader using 3delight (because it can't recongnize the .slo file).

how can I use houdini and renderman as the picture shows (Pixar's renderman is too expensive for learning):

I am interested in this as well since we use 3delight at work. :shock:
