op:/ operator and Camera background image? 2023年5月18日12:43

Unfortunately, this still does not work. I've tried it with 18.0, 18.5, 19.0, and 19.5 and it fails in the same way in all of them. I just don't think this is a feature they ever intend to support. Which is strange because the COP2 image appears as the background in the viewport when you look through the camera.

Trouble with custom SideFXLabs deployment 2023年2月6日14:59

Yes, this works for us with full UNC network paths. In fact, our SIDEFXLABS entry actually looks more like this:

"SIDEFXLABS": "${DEPLOY_ROOT}/houdini/packages/18.0/SideFXLabs/${sidefxlabs_current_version}"

Where $DEPLOY_ROOT is a custom environment variable set by our application launcher to a Windows-style path (e.g., "N:/global") when the host machine is a Windows machine, and to a Linux-style path (e.g., "//netfsmnt/global") when the host machine is a Linux machine.

I believe the way we got this working was by modifying the SideFXLabs.json file to look like this:

{
    "env": [
        {
            "sidefxlabs_current_version": "1.205"
        }, 
        {
            "SIDEFXLABS": "N:/global/houdini/packages/18.0/SideFXLabs/${sidefxlabs_current_version}"
        }, 
        {
            "PATH": {
                "method": "prepend", 
                "value": [
                    "$SIDEFXLABS/bin"
                ]
            }
        }
    ], 
    "path": "$SIDEFXLABS"
}

Where N:/global/houdini/packages/18.0/SideFXLabs/1.205was the network path where the package contents were extracted.
