🕑 Added 2020-11-20 16:14:28 +0000 UTCIf you watch the dev log you can see what got added so far.
You already knew the override function but now, as decided by the poll, there is now the option to merge libraries together.
That way you can build your own file, still get new entries from me or even share your own snippets with the community.
Also seen in video is a new feature, allowing you to grab new entries from a file that I am keeping online. It will make it very easy to get new entries.
The functionality is already working but will require a token. My webpage is still under construction. The plan is to start with have a basic place where you can have easier access to files and videos. For that you register on the site - we will probably use the wordpress patreon plugin again.
That will create a popup and show you a token, a generated string. Save it somewhere. That is your key to this and future features that I will build with this method.
In this case it will allow you to just click the button and whatever is new in the online file will be written into yours.
I hope you like the changes.
If you have questions, ideas or requests let me know.
For this asset I started to turn the file into a black boxed hda, meaning it can't be edited. We might stumble on errors or problems and I need to be sure that the file is untouched when something comes up.
Another word of warning. I think you will need Houdini 18.5 for this version of the asset. If anyone can give it a test and check if you get an error in 18.5 let me know.
For testing purposes I had a build with python 3 installed. And the stupid thing is that between python 2 and 3 they changed the syntax to make a print. So the new print does not work in the old version.
If you - for some reason need to stay in 18.0 but still want to use this asset - give me a notice - I can easily create a version that works there. I either turn all prints to the old syntax or throw all prints out.
Cheers
Dave
