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
