I honestly think it's best to use the env paths SideFX provide for most things. I have multiple third party libraries installed and I could have used the same concatenation rules for my personal OTL's but I like to keep these separate from qLib,siLib, and aeLib. I only concatenate other renderers to my HOUDINI_PATH using the usual rules of a semi-colon and no space (RenderMan & Arnold).
The stuff below is from my Houdini env but it's a good template for concatenating multiple libraries. AELIB= "C:/Program Files/Side Effects Software/Houdini 16.5.365/3rd Party/Aelib" QLIB= "C:/Program Files/Side Effects Software/Houdini 16.5.365/3rd party/qLib" siLIB= "C:\Program Files\Side Effects Software/Houdini 16.5.365/3rd party/siLib" QOTL=$QLIB/otls HOUDINI_OTLSCAN_PATH = $QOTL/base;$QOTL/future;$QOTL/experimental;@ /otls;$AELIB/otls;&;$SILIB/otls;& HOUDINI_GALLERY_PATH = $QLIB/gallery;@ /gallery;$AELIB/gallery;&;$SILIB/gallery;& HOUDINI_TOOLBAR_PATH = $QLIB/toolbar;@ /toolbar;$AELIB/toolbar;&;$SILIB/toolbar;& HOUDINI_SCRIPT_PATH = $QLIB/scripts;@ /scripts;$AELIB/scripts;&;$SILIB/scripts;& HOUDINI_VEX_PATH = $AELIB/vex;&;$SILIB/vex/^;& On 25 January 2018 at 18:33, Schoenberger <[email protected]> wrote: > I am not sure, but as far as I remember the Houdini help, & means the > default value and not the previous value. > > > > Therefore > > HOUDINI_PATH = "D:/otls;&" > > will be > > HOUDINI_PATH = "D:/otls;C:\programs\houdini\..." > > And you lose the Redshift path completely. > > > > I do not know the syntax for the previous value, but you can try to set > both in one line. > > > > > > Holger Schönberger > technical director > The day has 24 hours, if that does not suffice, I will take the night > > *From:* [email protected] [mailto:softimage-bounces@ > listproc.autodesk.com] *On Behalf Of *Olivier Jeannel > *Sent:* Thursday, January 25, 2018 4:22 PM > *To:* [email protected]; [email protected] > *Subject:* Houdini.env and external otl folder > > > > Hi there, > > > > I'm trying to put all my personnal HDA into an external folder, something > like : > > D:\otls > > > > I tried to modify the HOUDINI_PATH in the houdini.env text file, but no > luck. > > > > I already have > > HOUDINI_DSO_ERROR = 2 > > PATH = "C:/ProgramData/Redshift/bin;$PATH" > > HOUDINI_PATH = "C:/ProgramData/Redshift/Plugins/Houdini/16.0.705;&" > > > > Pointing to redshift > > > > How can I add another folder to point to ? > > I tried to add this line after > > HOUDINI_PATH = "D:/otls;&" > > > > but this is not working ...at all. > > Thank's :) > > > > > > > > > > ------ > Softimage Mailing List. > To unsubscribe, send a mail to [email protected] > with "unsubscribe" in the subject, and reply to confirm. >
