HCMD/HSCRIPT - Running from Third Party App Sept. 15, 2023, 10:10 a.m.
Hi -
I'm trying to run a Houdini simulation from a custom C# app. I can easily use my app to open a command prompt, switch to my Houdini install folder, and get hcmd.exe started, but every command after that is ignored. Doing it manually, without the C# app, once I get hcmd.exe running, I can easily use cmdread to read a batch file to handle running hscript and rendering everything. Does anybody know a way to run my Houdini project from the command line using hscript with an argument to make it run the cmdread command after the hip file opens?
Thanks!
