# Lines starting with # are comments and ignored

# Each entry starts with no indentation and gives the key used
# by the menu callback.  By convention, this is nodename/parmname.
# Multiple keys can be given for the same entry.
#
# The next line gives the name of the expression.  Its indentation
# level is then used for the remainder of the text.  All the
# code until the next parameter are appended together to make
# the snippet.  All preceeding indentation is removed.
# Note that tabs == 8 is assumed.

That was cool to know!.

I usually do another simple trick for this. I find it cool to get the snippets
in the tab menu so that i can tab and search my snippet easily.

also I use node presets for the same as well.


Thanks!

… and the super thing about saving stuff as node presets is that it also saves any spare parameters your preset node may need.

eg. find yourself constantly needing to add a bit of human wobble to your camera? Houdini gives you approximately 792 different ways to do this, but my favourite has been:

Create a null, put some expressions to create some noise on its rotations, and add some parameters to feed/control that noise. You don't want to have to tit about with the expressions every time you want to control the wobble when you can make a baby UI on the Null itself:



The expressions I've stuck on are like this:

turb($T/ch("freqx")+837,0,0,2)*ch("noise_scalex")*ch("noise_scale_global")

Change that 837 to a different number on each axis. Save it as a preset called “Camera wobble” or “Rotation noise” etc. That's the hard part over.

Now anytime you know you're gonna want a camera with a bit of humanising wobble, link your camera to a null, and animate that null with the main camera moves, instead of the camera object itself. Then you can stick another null in between:



and call up your wobble preset:



Now you have some nice friendly wobble controls, just by adding a null and picking a preset. Yummy.
