目标
安装并试用Houdini的Maya插件
参考官方文档:https://www.sidefx.com/docs/maya/
0. 安装
据官方文档所说,如果在安装Houdini的时候已经安装了Maya,则勾选 Houdini Engine for Maya 会自动安装Maya插件,它实际上会做两步:
1.Extracts the Maya plug-in for all supported Maya versions. This includes the plug-in binary, and various scripts. Files for all the supported Maya versions are extracted, regardless of which Maya versions are actually installed on the system. The extracted files can be found under the
$HFS/engine/maya
directory.
2.Registers the newly installed Maya plug-in with Maya. This step is only done for Maya versions that the installer is able to detect.
而如果有些意外比如Maya没在默认位置,或者Maya是后于Houdini安装的,则需要手动安装。
我这里需要手动安装:
找到“模块描述文件”,它的路径是:Houdini安装目录/engine/maya/maya<version>/houdiniEngine-maya<version>
将其拷贝到Maya安装目录/modules
中:
1. 加载
在Maya中打开插件管理器:
勾选houdiniEngine插件
接下来便可以看到HoudiniEngine菜单了
2. 试用HDA
点击加载HDA:
然后选择一个HDA。
接着便可以在Maya中看到并操作了:
