Hi guys

I'm new to the world of Houdini and I was wondering is there any way to get Houdini's help file in PDF or HTML?

Or is there any chance to share it in LAN so I can read it on my tablet.

I think you should just copy Help directory in the <Houdini Installation Directory> / houdini / help on your Tablet and use _index.html file !

for example : /opt/hfs13.0.198.21/houdini/help (on Linux)
and CProgram Files/Side Effects Software/Houdini 13.0.267/houdini/help (on Windows) :wink:

And of course you can use the online version, as well:

Thanks for reply

I already tried that but it only opens index page and if I try to go to another link, it can not find page. Same happens when I try to open in using browser on PC. I got this message



as I'm guessing there is some kind of help server and help works using that server. When I open help in Houdini, it's browser opens through port 48626 and when I try to enter that port through LAN from tablet, it doesn't allow me to enter.

Thank you bollili for reply.

Unfortunately I'm not blessed with internet at home (I'm posting from my work)


And I have one more problem. I started to watch some tutorials on web and I found that H13's shelf tools differ from old versions so I can't find some of them at all. is there any kind of changelog that describes that kind of changes?

Any idea where the documentation is on Mac? It has to be somewhere local if it can be served by Houdini's local server. I could find _index.txt files, under /Applications/Houdini16.0.621/Frameworks/Houdini.framework/Versions/16.0.621/Resources/houdini/help/_index.txt

The contents of this look like some sort of template language system that gets rendered to html on the fly maybe?
