Hey,

Q: Is there an way to expand a HDA in Houdini indie? Not being able to do this makes tracking changes in GIT almost impossible.

I noticed the option to do this is not under the asset manager in Indie.

On the commandline, if I run:
hotl -t outDir inHda

I get an error
Cannot convert non-commercial HDAs

But, it does create an expanded HDA still, it just has no nodes inside it, but all the scripts on the HDA are still there.

So, it half works?

Cheers,

Nick D

Follow up: Are there restrictions to selling HDALC? Can FX users open them?

From memory, Orbolt accepts Indie HDAs, but some of the tools I make use nodes from other packages (for example, Redshift), and Orbolt doesnt seem to support that.
