Houdini 20.5 Reference Panes

Data tree pane

A plug-in-based spreadsheet-like editor that gives you a unified interface to edit parameters and attribute values on nodes and geometry all over Houdini.

To open a data tree pane, click the New Tab icon at the top of a pane and select New Pane Tab Type ▸ Inspectors ▸ Data Tree.

Plug-ins

The currently available plug-ins in the data tree pane are:

  • The light bank lets you quickly see and edit the values on all the lights in the scene, including linking lights to objects.

  • The object appearance editor lets you see and edit the display properties of all the geometry in the scene. For example, you can set a subobject in an Alembic file hierarchy to display as a point cloud.

  • The material style sheet editor lets you create and edit material style sheets for controlling the appearance of objects at render time.
