Standard Library - IPOPs (Image Plane Operators) for Houdini

What are IPOPs?

IPOPs are operator workflows designed to streamline shaders and AOV development in Houdini. With our toolset, artists can easily standardise their networks and access specially developed nodes for various renderers and presets, increasing efficiency and creativity.

The Standard Library

The Standard Library is a set of HDAs that help artists create quick shaders and AOVs and contain useful Utility Nodes such as Fresnel for Karma (CPU & XPU), Mask Falloffs in Shaders etc. The HDA library is constantly updated with new nodes to assist artists in speeding up their workflow and creating a streamlined system thereby increasing efficiency and creativity.

FAQ:

1. How do I install the tool?
   You will get access to a private repo on GitHub within 24 Hours after purchase.
   
   NOTE: The GitHub repo will constantly be updated with new material and an email notification will be sent to users.
2. Do I need a GitHub account?
   Yes.
3. Do I need an internet connection to run the tool?
   You require an internet connection to activate the tool and clone the GitHub repo.
4. Why can't I dive inside the nodes?
   Some HDAs are blackboxed and are not editable.
5. What versions of Houdini do you support?
   Houdini 20.0625 and up (python 3.9 & 3.10.10).
6. Can I request for special features?
   Yes! If you require any support or require the setup to be customized to your needs or implemented in your scene, please contact us at support@chakshuvfx.com and we can debug/modify it accordingly.
