HoudiniPRTExporter

Python module for Houdini that allows users to export Houdini particles to Thinkbox PRT format.

This plugin supports Houdini 16.

Download Binary

See our releases page.

Building from Source

See BUILDING.md.

Install instructions

Ensure the plugin has either been built from source, or the pre-built binary has been downloaded.

On Windows and Linux, copy exportPRT.dll or exportPRT.so to {Houdini Install Directory}/houdini/dso/.

On macOS, copy exportPRT.dylib to {Your Home Directory}/Library/Preferences/houdini/{Your Version Of Houdini}/dso/ or to /Users/Shared/houdini/{Your Version of Houdini}/dso/.

Running instructions

Once the plugin has been installed, Houdini will have a new Python module called Krakatoa.

Launch Houdini, and create a new scene with a particle system.

To perform an export, open Python inside Houdini and use the following commands (substitute your own node path and file path):

import Krakatoa

Krakatoa.exportParticles(hou.node('/obj/fireworks_particles/import_fireworks'),
                         'my_path/output_particles.prt')
