ShotBuilder: creating deeper folders via JSON Oct. 6, 2025, 2:51 p.m.
Hi.
I am on Windows. I have shotBuilder working via the json file I have made.
Right now it creates the a folder structure like
HoudiniProject/env
HoudiniProject/shotAssets
HoudiniProject/shot
What I really want is something like this:
HoudiniProject/usd/shotBuilder/env
HoudiniProject/usd/shotBuilder/shotAssets
HoudiniProject/usd/shotBuilder/shot
Going though the docs I can see there is a HOUDINI_SHOTBUILDER_PROJECT_PATH environment variable.
So I gave that a try inside my packages folder (snippet below):
{
"enable" : true,
"show" : true,
"load_package_once" : true,
"env": [
{
"HOUDINI_SHOTBUILDER_PROJECT_PATH" : "$HIP/usd/shotBuilder"
},
{
"HOUDINI_NO_ENV_FILE" : "1"
},
But that stopped it working altogether.
Is there anyway to do this?
Thanks in advance for any help!
Best. Mark
