------------ QuadRemesher for Houdini - ReadMe --------------- --- How to install the plugin: --- There are 2 ways to get the plugin : 1 - download from exoside.com website 2 - download from SideFX gamedev/Lab (the plugin is included in the GameDev) Which one is the best ? If you already have GameDev/Lab, use QuadRemesher which is included inside. (update the GameDev/Lab if needed) You can get some info from SideFX here : https://www.sidefx.com/tutorials/sidefx-labs-exoside-quadremesher/ In this case (QuadRemesher from SideFX gamedev/Lab), the "Remeshing Engine" (the algorithm) is not included in the GameDev installation. It will be downloaded automatically by the QuadRemesher plugin. Actually, the gamedev/Lab contains the "Bridge" between Houdini and the QuadRemesher engine. The first time you click on "License Manager", the plugin will download and install the "Remeshing Engine" from exoside server. If not, download it from https://www.exoside.com/quadremesher-download. Then, unzip the downloaded zip archive, copy the asset "QuadRemesher.hda" or "gamedev_exoside_quadremesher.hda" in a folder where Houdini will load/scan the assets: - it can be : C:\Users\YOUR_NAME\Documents\houdini17.5\otls\ - or any specific folder as long as you add this folder in the houdini.env like this: HOUDINI_OTLSCAN_PATH = C:\YOUR_SPECIFIC_PATH;& This is explained here : https://www.sidefx.com/docs/houdini/assets/install.html
