Hi guys,
I'm a new Houdini artist studying at Animal Logic Academy in Sydney.

At home I have 2 computers. I would like to do my hair grooming on computer A and then save the HDA for computer B to render.

How can I save a HDA to a shared location such that both computers can read the HDA?

I tried to do it and when I load the HDA onto computer B all the files are missing.

Is there a simple to follow guide on this kind of workflow?

Thank you.

Steve.

if your two computers are on the same network
you can make a directory to put shared assets etc
then save the HDA to that location
then add that directory to the HOUDINI_OTLSCAN_PATH
