  • Download the repository

  • Append the provided houdini.env file to your own houdini.env

Evironment variables used:

  • HOUDINI_OTLSCAN_PATH: the assets

  • HOUDINI_TOOLBAR_PATH: shelf tools
  • HOUDINI_SCRIPT_PATH: scripts
  • HOUDINI_VEX_PATH: custom Vex files (required in some assets)

Other

The structure of this library is inspired by qLib - a large open source Houdini library - https://github.com/qLab/qLib Most of the assets found in Aelib will work in isolation. However, a few tools do make use of qLib so it is highly recommended that this is installed alongside Aelib.
