Is there an environment variable that I can append a path to in order to add another .h file to the ones already included in “/houdini/vex/include/”?

Specifically, I'm concerned with “voplib.h” and “voptype.h”, would it be possible to write extra functions into a header that can be called in the vex builder? Or should I be going the OTL route?

thanks

From what I understand, the variable $PT references the particle number as you said, but the variable $ID references the absolute number of the particle as it was birthed. Try plugging in $ID instead of $PT.

One of my classmates has a pretty good writeup of using RIBBoxes and LOD using Houdini. Check it out http://sfdm.ca.scad.edu/vsfx/faculty/mkesson/Ca301/wip/wip_spring2006/vsfx319.1/johnathan_nixon/lod/lod.html [sfdm.ca.scad.edu]
