Houdini Main Changelogs

18.5.100

Changed hou.Node.createDigitalAsset() to use the same logic of where to install the HDA as the "Create Digital Asset..." menu entry on a node. In particular, this means that installing an asset into a path scanned by Houdini for assets will now install it to "Scanned Asset Library Directories" by default instead of "Current HIP File". The method now has a new input_path argument to allow overriding this default.

Fixed a bug where otcreatetypefrom -i "Scanned Asset Library Directories" would not work properly.

On Windows, improve UTF-8 file path handling so that it should now be mostly on par with that of Linux. Notably, one can now use non-ASCII characters in filenames when saving and loading geometry files. NOTE: This requires Windows 10 version 1903 (May 2019 Update) or newer.
