Open Animation Editor from a parameter? July 2, 2026, 10:01 p.m.

Thanks!

Open Animation Editor from a parameter? July 1, 2026, 1:08 a.m.

In older versions of Houdini you could open the Animation Editor directly from a parameter by RMB-Channels and Keyframes-Scope Parameters. I don't see this option in v.20.5. I can only use shift with left mouse click.

Has this option moved somewhere else in the popup menu?

qLib on Mac OSX? June 27, 2026, 10:11 p.m.

Can anyone tell me if the qLib library works with Mac version of Houdini 20.5? If so, what is the installation method?

I have not been able to successfully install it.

Edit: I found how to do it, where "yourname" is specific to you own directory, and change "20.5" if you have a different version:
(1) Download .zip file from: https://qlab.github.io/qLib/ [qlab.github.io]
(2) Copy the qLib-master folder in to:
/Users/yourname/Library/Preferences/houdini/20.5
(3) Copy the qLib_package.json file from this folder in to:
/Users/yourname/Library/Preferences/houdini/20.5/packages

To test installation, open create. Geometry node and ht tab key and type ql. You should see many items listed with a qL ending.
