Houdini
Browse and place vault assets in Houdini, export the selection, or upload the .hip with its files.
Open it
Choose LoreOwl > Open LoreOwl panel in Houdini's main menu. The panel has a Vault tab and an Upload tab.
Vault tab
- Search, filter by type and tag, sort, and select Load more. The panel also shows your storage use.
- Select assets and Place selected. Turn on Import after download to bring them into the scene.
- If a file is not the format its name says, or makes no geometry, the panel warns you.
Upload tab
- Export selection and upload. Export the selected geometry in the Format you choose.
- Upload this scene and its files. Upload the
.hipwith the files it references. Files the vault already has are linked, not uploaded again. Frame-sequence caches are left out, and the panel tells you.
