Junichiro Horikawa Shows How You Can Export Houdini Networks as Python Code to Rebuild Them in Other Files.

Ever wanted to export Houdini Networks so that you can rebuild them into other files? Apparently, you can save out node networks as python code to facilitate this. Junichiro Horikawa walks us through the steps, showing us how.

Using this method, you can export the Houdini network from one .hip file and reconstruct it exactly as it was, in another file through the magic of python. Transporting networks can be a great way to develop some pipeline workflows between Houdini files, where assets or other methods might not do the trick. Download the Houdini files used in the tutorial here, and watch the tutorial here.
