Saving Recipies to Directory on HOUDINI_PATH Not Working Oct. 10, 2025, 2:21 a.m.

I think it would be nice to have individual files per recipe, every recepie packed in on single .hda is kind hard when it comes to sharing, what if i would like to share a bunch of recipes to another artist without having to pass on my entire collection?

Also it feels safer to save them as individual files since i don't have to worry about accidently saving one single buggy node into recipe.hda which may break my entire collection, for example if i copy over recipe made in H20.5 and add another recipe to that from H21, that is causing some warning, this could entirely be avoided if they are saved in individual files, just like how hdas can be saved individually for each tool.

Any thoughts? or is there a way that i could already do this?

TOPS - USD add assets to Gallery TOP Sept. 15, 2025, 1:52 a.m.

Unable to use the upstream attributes as file paths



This is because of the File pattern TOP inside this hda, IMO there should be option to ignore the file pattern and use the upstream attribute to use as file pattern. Any thoughts?

Asset Catalog - Categories, Tree Structure. Sept. 13, 2025, 1:29 a.m.

yeah kinda painfull, but this is first version with the tree view in asset catalog.I really hope that they will definitely include subfolder creation and more features for the asset catalog in next version.
