Houdini AI Assistant Feb. 16, 2026, 12:43 p.m.
You can connect Houdini to AI(like Claude Code or Codex) through MCP(Model Context Protocol), there are few implementations:
https://github.com/capoomgit/houdini-mcp [github.com] and its forks some of them have more functionality like https://github.com/kleer001/houdini-mcp [github.com]
different implementation of MCP:
https://github.com/atayilgun/Houdini-claudecode-mcp [github.com]
I have my own, based on atayilgun's:
https://github.com/lecopivo/another-houdini-mcp [github.com]
I'm now experimenting with so called "Houdini AI Academy" in which I let the AI go over Houdini documentation, examples and let it play with the nodes. Then I ask it to write down its notes in the memory/ directory. My hope is that for each node it will gather useful information such that it can use the nodes more effectively next time. Feel free to run in on your machine and submit a PR
Its usefulness is hit or miss, right now but I find it quite useful when refactoring HDAs or doing other really tedious tasks.

Great! Thanks a lot
`xyzdist` in C++ Feb. 26, 2024, 2:36 p.m.
Is there a way to call some similar function to VEX `xyzdist` from C++? The closest thing I found is `HOM_Geometry::nearestPrim`. If I understand it correctly this is C++ version of Python module. Is there a similar function working with `GU_Detail`?
