I’m trying to publish Houdini digital assets using AYON. I’ve looked at the documentation here:
The section about Houdini Digital Assets discuss how to create and publish v001. I cannot find any documentaiton on the correct procedure to then modify and update the asset to a v002.
I guessed that I had to go to the published asset, Right Mouse Button (RMB) > Allow Editing of Contents, make my changes or copy the contents to another location and then make changes, then go to AYON > Create and give it the same variant name and it will bump to v002.
Can anyone confirm if this is correct?
Hello,
The way to make version 2 of the asset is by going to the source hip file where you published the HDA and publish it again from the publisher tool.
Or, you can load it in a different hipfile and create it from tab menu, go to to the creator tool and create a new HDA product while selecting your HDA. Then you’ll be able to publish it again.
It’s worth mentioning that versioning is separate from Houdini versioning system.
we version them outside of Houdini.
Also, you can notice, they may all have v001 but with different installation path.
And this is how Houdini tells the difference between different HDA definitions.
