Simple tools to help other artists. 2026年9月1日1:27

Super cool stuff!
Glad you liked it...
I added a couple of tools I developed in the last few days while I am on the move.
a material builder set up to quickly build material and export them as usd files, the reason why usd is better than materialX I will have to explain later.
and a geo thumbnail builder.
This are a couple of thing I build as i got tired of crappy asset browsers and finally found one that can be easily expanded. I will probably have to do another video explaining how to use them but I will wait until more tools are added to the repository.

ok... I kind of found the issue/my mistake
Edit on external editor and edit extra section code are LABS tools.
Well thank you labs for this amazing tools.
@SideFX no idea why this is not part of the package.

Setting External Editor in H22 2026年7月16日20:49

I use VSCode as my external editor and used to be able to set it up so it doesn't freeze while I am working on it and just updates once you save the file.
I don't think that is possible anymore is it?
The new method of setting it up through the $EDITOR variable force me to be opening and closing VSCode everytime I make modifications to a script.
That will really slowdown work on Python modules.
Am I missing something?
