Code editor plugin for Houdini - test and roast it!
Hey everyone,
I'm not a Houdini user myself, but after seeing how my wife struggles with editing Python code in Houdini I've built a little code editor in form of a plugin. It has built-in linter to highlight syntax errors and can run the code right away (force-cooking the node before that), the execution errors and log messages (like the print() method) are displayed in the built-in console window. Everything is in there, you don't have to switch to Python Shell to see errors and print() outputs.
I'm not a Houdini user myself, so I'd appreciate your feedback on the plugin. Feel free to give it a try, it's available for Windows, Linux and MacOS (although I only tested on my Mac so far).
You can download the plugin from Github: https://github.com/yurist38/mad-coder-houdini-plugin/releases . Installation is pretty straightforward, you can find instructions in the README file in the repository or inside the downloaded archive.
Looking forward to hearing back from Houdini experts!
