Getting a Geometry File using a Python string May 22, 2018, 7:10 a.m.

Something like this?
fileNode = hou.node(“../file2”)
fileNode.parm(“file”).set(highName)

You can drag the fbx node into the python to get the path to the node. Hover over parameters to know what they are called behind the scenes.

fbxNode = hou.node(“/rop/rop_fbx1”)
fbxNode.parm(“execute”).pressButton()

This looks pretty great! I wonder if it's easy to do something similar in Houdini.

Houdini unable to start - HOUDINI_USER_PREF_DIR missing __HVER__ Feb. 26, 2018, 10:14 a.m.

I was using Houdini/ Mantra this morning but something changed and I can't open Houdini any more. I tried running License Administrator and it gives me this message:

EnvControl: HOUDINI_USER_PREF_DIR missing __HVER__, ignored.

I tried deleting houdini.env but that didn't help. Any ideas welcome!
