Hi. It seems deadline will no longer be updated as of next month.

Our vfx degree will have you find something else.

We use houdini and pdg tops, Nuke and unreal.

Does anyone have recommendations. Best. Mark

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
