Hi, it's probably a very noob question but i cannot find a proper documentation online. I'd like to run a simulation on Linux and save the output files and the log in specific folders.
I created a dop and i was able to run the simulation (and save the outputs) using GUI buttons in Houdini. How can i reproduce all this via command line?
You have to send commands to hbatch, either by piping a command file or using -c on the command line.
e.g.
$:/hip> hbatch test.hip -c "render /out/geometry1 -f 1 20; quit;"
hbatch Version 18.0.460 (Compiled on May 82020)
Rendering geometry1
$:/hip>
hbatch is just houdini without an interface. Look at the help for hscript for how to script a non-gui session. There's also hython if you prefer to script in python.
