Known Limitations:
- Maximum of 99 variations per asset (Component Builder limitation). Some assets have more than this... yes.
- Component Builder limitations for stacking geometry variants only allow (atm) one level of variants, so you can't nest all plant types together.
- No multi-threading support, (TOPS support soon) which can result in slow processing times. But still faster than doing it manually eh? :)
- Redshift-specific issues: "Error while translating a USD shader" pop up may appear. This doesn't impact the tool functionality. Press/hold ESC to dismiss.
Installation:
1. Extract graswald2solaris.zip to the location of your choice.
2. Copy graswald2Solaris.json in the package folder into your houdini package folder located in C:/Users/yourname/Documents/houdini21/packages.
3. Change the path in the json file to the location of your graswald2solaris folder.
4. Open Houdini and open the Graswald shelf by clicking the + icon -> shelves -> Graswald.
I hope you'll find this tool useful!
