Overview ¶
The HoudiniTools utilities helps keep your HDAs and Presets organized and easily accessible in your Unreal Engine project. HDAs and Presets can be organised and categorized through HoudiniTools Packages in your Unreal project and accessed through the HoudiniTools Panel.
The HoudiniTools Panel can be launched in the Unreal Editor through the Houdini Engine → Houdini Tools… menu.
In the HoudiniTools Panel, HDAs will be displayed with an orange underline, and Presets will be displayed with a blue underline.
The HoudiniTools utilities supports importing data and icons from JSON description files and exporting HoudiniAsset data to external JSON description files for HoudiniAssets.
Note
External Package and HDA JSON files are optional. HDAs and Packages inside Unreal can be managed without external JSON / icon files.
Note
HoudiniPresets does not currently support JSON description files.
Refer to Presets for working with Presets outside the HoudiniTools Panel.
