Hi!
Does anyone know a process (or is it possible at all) to load a custom operator (.so or .dll library compiled from c++) ‘dynamically’ when houdini is open?
I mean a node, from a .so or .dll file that would be place in the /dso/ folder, not an otl file.
Thanks

It seams an otl can contain an .so operator, but just kind of pointer to it ; this has to actually be present in the “internally defined operators”.
Hence refreshing the otl would not reload the .so…

Are the otls the way to go? In the Operator Type Manager there is an option to “refresh” the otls.
There is also a “Refresh assets libraries” in the main File menu, though it does not seam to reload the .so plugins.
